专业英语四级-23(总分100,考试时间90分钟)完型填空题In September, more than a dozen whales beached themselves in the Canary Islands. Rescuers tried to water down the whales and keep them cool. But all of them 1 died.Nearby, NATO naval forces were 2 echo sounding devices meant to 3 an enemy"s submarines, and public 4 of the deaths ultimately came to 5 suspicions of a link between whale distress and loud ocean noises.The theory is 6 the mammals seek to 7 the roar of the deep, rush toward the surface and in some cases end up going ashore.For decades, environmentalists have worked to reduce the undersea noise—usually with 8 success, given the growing industrialization and militarization of the oceans. They have 9 suits and waged letter-writing campaigns, 10 a recent petition that asks the United States Navy to 11 its testing of underwater sound equipment.The discovery by biologists in Hawaii that whales can 12 the sensitivity of their hearing to protect their ears from loud noise 13 another dimension to the debate.Michael Jasny, a senior policy analyst, called the research fascinating and said he hoped it would prove 14 in protecting whale hearing from these threats.But he 15 the finding as a work in 16 that posed many unanswered questions."A lot more work needs 17 ," he said. "Could it be replicated in the wild? It"s a huge question."18 whales could learn to decrease the sensitivity of their hearing, Mr. Jasny said, that would19 only a relatively small part of the oceanic noise problem. "It"s important to understand that it"s 20 ," he said of the proposed method. "It won"t be a silver bullet."1.A. inevitablyB. eventuallyC. surprisinglyD. immediately2.A. developingB. installingC. testingD. checking3.A. detectB. catchC. discloseD. reveal4.A. knowledgeB. debateC. mourningD. reception5.A. reduceB. removeC. avertD. strengthen6.A. whichB. whetherC. whatD. that7.A. resistB. escapeC. silenceD. stop8.A. fewB. muchC. manyD. little9.A. friedB. facedC. wonD. defended10.A. incorporatingB. includingC. comprisingD. containing11.A. reportB. completeC. dropD. improve12.A. remainB. varyC. increaseD. decrease13.A. addsB. addC. addingD. added14.A. efficientB. effectiveC. successfulD. sufficient15.A. denouncedB. acceptedC. characterizedD. justified16.A. demandB. contextC. actionD. progress17.A. to be doingB. doneC. to doD. to be done18.A.

According to a new study to be published in theJournal of Marketing, they are 21 a trick.A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of University of Minnesota, looked at consumers" 22 to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are 23 at fractions.Consumers often struggle to realise, 24 , that a 50% increase in 25 is the same as a 33% discount in price. They 26 assume the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion when it was offered in a 27 pack than when it carried an equivalent discount.This numerical blind 28 remains even when the deal 29 favours the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% 30 the price. The discount is 31 the better proposition, but the experiment shows the supposedly clever students viewed them 32 equivalent.Marketing types can draw lessons 33 just pricing, says Mr. Rao. When advertising a new car"s efficiency, for example, it is more 34 to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it does, 35 the equivalent percentage fall in fuel 36 .There may be lessons for officials 37 regulate prices too. Even well-educated shoppers are easily 38 . Sending everyone back to school for math seems out of the question. 39 more prominently displayed unit prices in shops and advertisements would be a great 40 .21.A. playingB. missingC. workingD. wasting22.A. resistanceB. dispositionC. attitudesD. tendencies23.A. quickB. skillfulC. dumbD. weak24.A. for exampleB. as a resultC. in particularD. by contrast25.A. weightB. quantityC. volumeD. size26.A. undoubtedlyB. implicitlyC. immediatelyD. overwhelmingly27.A. bonusB. bubbleC. singleD. big28.A. trackB. traceC. spotD. point29.A. partiallyB. brightlyC. vividlyD. clearly30.A. aboveB. offC. ofD. on31.A. in allB. at bestC. by farD. for all32.A. toB. asC. forD. into33.A. beyondB. fromC. inD. on34.A. professionalB. accurateC. convincingD. difficult35.A. other thanB. more thanC. rather thanD. better than36.A. pricesB. consumptionC. supplyD. charges37.A. whoB. whatC. whomD. which38.A. persuadedB. distractedC. foxedD. impressed39.A.

Take Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th-century priest who was said to be 41 in as many as 50 languages. Native speakers came from all over the world to test his 42 , and many left astonished.InBabel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and 43 linguistic geniuses. 44 on Erard asks what it means to really know a language. Claire Kramsch tells him the question 45 not be "How many languages do you know?" but rather "In how many languages do you live?" Understanding the 46 cultural difference of a language requires extensive and 47 contact with its speakers, and for that reason Kramsch 48 that anyone could ever live in more than four or five languages.Fair enough, 49 what about the astonishing feats of memory and calculation that people display when they 50 up a new language, or eight? Erard points out that, for no good reason, this question has been 51 by science. After all, we study extraordinary 52 in mathematics and music; why not linguistic geniuses?Erard 53 down Mezzofanti"s papers, speaks to many language experts and even learns that some bilingual people experience mental illness in one 54 but not another. Most interestingly, he 55 a group of modern linguistic geniuses. Memory, motivation and practice are all important, they say, but 56 is a practical strategy. 57 who claimed to speak 11 languages did not much care about 58 like a native. Unlike Mezzofanti, their goal was not to 59 but to do—see the world, read the local paper and not get 60 .41.A. fluidB. fluentC. smoothD. flowing42.A. strengthB. reactionsC. abilitiesD. knowledge43.A. anotherB. one anotherC. the otherD. other44.A.

board and devise means of responding to attacks.A clear and comprehensive Ship Security Plan and the training of crews in security measures and response techniques are essential.Without clearly defined and rigorously practiced procedures, the risk of an uncoordinated response during the inevitable confusion of an attack increases the danger faced by those on board the ship.While a Ship Security Plan and crew training may not prevent an attack they should help reduce the risks if an attack takes place.Attacks by pirates or armed robbers pose an immediate threat to the safety of a ship and individual crew members.When responding to attacks, masters and crews should seek to minimize the risk to those on board and maintain effective control over the safe navigation of the

completed operations at one installation without incident.At 1110 she approached the second installation and carried out precautionary engine and steering tests.These were satisfactory, and at 1115 the vessel was in position to work cargo.The master was on the bridge at the joystick control; the weather was fine and the sea calm.The first lift was a 10' x 8' container.The deck crew attached the hook of the installation's crane to the container, and moved forward to a safe position.The master then noticed that the vessel was moving forward out of position and moved the joystick to counteract the ahead movement.He then saw that the port propeller was indicating full ahead pitch, so changed from joystick to manual pitch controls and promptly put them to full astern.This did not prevent the vessel moving ahead so far that the attached container be dragged over the stern and into the sea.Placing the manual pitch controls to zero then caused both propellers to return to neutral.Control of the vessel was regained, and the problem did not immediately re-occur.Later tests and inspections by specialist control engineers and the propeller manufacturers showed no fault with the control systems or the port propeller.However, some wear was found in the feedback linkages on the control system of the starboard propeller.This was rectified, and manoeuvring tests completed satisfactorily.73.In this passage the supply vessel is ______.A.one that supplies fuel oils to other deep sea vesselsB.one that supplies stores to other deep sea vesselsC.a tug boatD.smaller container vessel74.The joystick is a device ______.A.controlling rudders B.controlling shore cranesC.controlling the operation of cargoes D.controlling the propellers75.On noticing that the vessel was moving forward out of position, the master ______.A.moved the joystick forward to go together with the ahead movementB.moved the shore crane to go aftwardC.made the container move aftward by operating the joystickD.operated the joystick to control the vessel and move her aftward76.It is clearly demonstrated that ______.A.the testing of engines and steering before working cargo at an installation is an important precautionB.the testing of engines and steering before working cargo at an installation was not followed by Putford WorkerC.there is no value of moving the deck crew clear once a lift is attachedD.had the deck crew not bothered to move clear from, the consequences could have been avoided三.中译英(共2题,请将答案写在答题纸上)77.先生们:我遗憾地报告如下事故,该事故涉及到昨晚在我船工作的一位装卸工人。

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格处填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给):(14分)(A)Whether it is “women and children first” or “every manfor himself” in a shipwreck may depend on how long it takesthe ship to sink, researchers said recently.When the Lusitania was torpedoed (用鱼雷袭击) by aGerman ship in 1915, it sank in 18 minutes and the m__1__ ofthe survivors were young men and women who respondedimmediately to their powerful survival instincts.But when the Titanic struck an iceberg in 1912, it t__2__three hours to go down, allowing time for more civilizedbehavior to take control--and the majority of the survivors were women, children and people with young children.Economist Benno Torgler of the Queensland University of Technology in Australia and his colleagues studied the two sinkings in order to explore the economic theory that people generally behave in a “rational” and selfish manner. The two tragedies provided a “natural experiment” for testing the idea, because the passengers on the two ships were quite similar in t__3__ of gender and wealth.The major difference was how long it took the ships to sink. They suggested that when people have l__4__ time to react, instincts may rule. When more time is available, social influences play a bigger role. But psychologists noted that many factors other than following social norms (社会规范)could come into play in a disaster, including an evolutionary urge to save the species, attachments that are formed between individuals during the event and the leadership of authority figures.The extent of altruism(利他主义)an d how it occurs “is a very controversial issue,” said Anthony R. Mawson, a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He thinks the dominant response was attachment behavior.Psychologist Daniel Kruger of the University of Michigan, US thinks that the answer lies less in social norms and m__5__ in our evolutionary heritage. Human beings have a deep instinct to preserve our kind, he said, and that means “people are more likely to s__6__ those who have higher reproductive value, namely the young and women in child-bearing years”.Kruger also stressed the importance of leadership during a disaster, noting that the Titanic’s captain appeared to have g__7__control than the Lusitania’s.【答案及解析】1.majority/most在收到袭击后,沉船的“大部分”生还者为年轻人。

Navy LPD-17 Amphibious Ship Procurement: Background, Issues, and Options for Congress

Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs

March 16, 2011

Congressional Research Service7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34476 Navy LPD-17 Amphibious Ship Procurement Congressional Research Service Summary The Navy’s proposed FY2012 budget requests funding for the procurement of an 11th San Antonio (LPD-17) class amphibious ship. The Navy intends this ship to be the final ship in the class. The ship has received $184.0 million in prior-year advance procurement (AP) funding, and the Navy’s proposed FY2012 budget requests the remaining $1,847.4 million needed to complete the ship’s estimated procurement cost of $2,031.4 million.

The Navy plans to begin procuring a new class of amphibious ship called the LSD(X) in FY2017. Some observers have suggested using the LPD-17 design as the basis for the LSD(X). Navy officials do not stress this option and instead appear more interested in developing an all-new design for the LSD(X). If a decision were made to use the LPD-17 design as the basis for the LSD(X), then procuring a 12th LPD-17 in FY2014 or FY2015 would help keep the LPD-17 production line open until the procurement of the first LSD(X) in FY2017, which in turn might help reduce LSD(X) production costs.

Issues for Congress include whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy’s proposed funding request for the 11th LPD-17, whether to encourage or direct the Navy to use the LPD-17 design as the basis for the design of the LSD(X), and—particularly if the LPD-17 design is used as the basis for the LSD(X)—whether to fund the procurement of a 12th LPD-17 in FY2014 or FY2015.
