职称英语综合类C级真题及答案US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations.(46)2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly，including the United States，last year. (47)3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack. (48)It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.4 (49) The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. (50)A Tobacco stocks also perked up as investions discouried fears ** of from the US.B So far，109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.C The impact of the treaty could be huge.D Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.E The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places,and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs.F The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.参考答案：FDECB。

These researchers tinker (修补)with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. “They’re the best toys out there,”says Howie Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots.When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved —cars, trains, animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars.Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset’s labmates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars：robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist (扭曲)in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain (地形). “Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,”Choset concluded.After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Choset and his colleagues there began developing their own snake robots. Choset’s team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding and inching forward. The robots aiso moved in ways that snakes usually don't, such as roiling. Choset’s snake robots could crawl (爬行) through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the doctor has to open a patient’s chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and then tested the robot in pigs.A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology for surgeries on people.Even after 15 years of working with his team's creations, “I still don't get bored of watching the motion of my robots," Choset says.16 Choset began to build robots in high school.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 Snake robots could move in only four directions.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Choset didn’t begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at Carnegie Mellon,A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Choset’s snake robots could make more movements than the ones others developed.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 The application of a thin robotic snake makes heart surgeries iess time-consuming.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Zenati tested the robot on people after using it in pigs.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 The robotic technology for surgeries on people has brought a handsome profit to Medrobotics.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned三、概括大意与完成句子(第23-30题，每题1分，共8分)Ecosystem1 The word “ecosystem”is short for ecological (生态的)system. An ecosystem is where living creatures expand within a given area. You can say that an ecosystem is the natural environment where biological organisms (生物)such as plants, animals and humans co-exist in this world. So naturally that includes you and me. Yes, we are all members of an ecosystem!2 There are different kinds of ecosystems depending on the type of surface or environment. Most are naturally made such as the ocean or lake and the desert or rainforest. Some are man-made or artificial to encourage co-habitation (共居)between living and non-living things in a monitored environment, such as a zoo or garden.3 Plants make up the biggest group of biological creatures within an ecosystem, and that’s because they are the natural food producers for everyone. Plants raised in the earth need air and collect sunlight to help them grow. When they grow, the plants and Its fruits or flowers eventually become a source of food to animals, microorganisms (微生物)and even humans, of course. Food is then converted to energy for the rest of us to function, and this happens in a never-ending cycle until the living creatures die and break up back in the earth.4 Ecosystems are the basis of survival for all living things. We depend on plants and animals for food. In order for us to exist, we need to grow and care about other organisms. We also need to care for the non-living things within our environment like our air and water so we can continue living as a population. Since plants, animals and humans are all of various species (物种),we all play a role in maintaining the ecosystem.5 To preserve our ecosystems, we should stop using too much energy, which happens when we consume more than our share of resources. Humans should not disturb the natural habitat (栖息地)of plants and animals, and allow them to grow healthily for the cycle to continue. Too many people in a habitat can mean displacement (搬迁): imagine being thrown out of your home because there is no more space for everyone. Worse, overpopulation can also ruin the environment and cause destruction of existing plants and animals.23 Paragraph 224 Paragraph 325 Paragraph 426 Paragraph 5A What is an ecosystem?B How does an ecosystem work?C Why are ecosystems important?D What are different types of ecosystems?E What can we do to help protect ecosystems?F What destroys ecosystems?27 in an ecosystem, plants, animals and humans live together in28 Plants are essential in an ecosystem because to other living creatures they are29 Plants, animals and humans are all effective in30 To protect our ecosystems we should not use more thanA a given areaB the source of foodC various speciesD a biological creatureE our share of resourcesF the maintenance of the ecosystem四、阅读理解(第31-45题，每题3分，共46分)第一篇When Our Eyes Serve Our StomachOur 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.Psychologists have known for decades that what’s going on inside our heads affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi 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-level thinking processes get involved?Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass (质量)index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about 1/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food- related. After each word, each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they’d seen —- a food-related word like cake or a neutral (中性的)word like boat, Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in thinking processes，Radel says.“This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive (奋斗)for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal (处理)of our motives (动机)and needs,”Radel says.31 “Poorer children”and “hungry people”are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to showA they have sharper senses than others.B they lose their senses because of poverty and hunger.C humans' senses are affected by what they see with their eyes.D humans，senses are influenced by what’s going on in their heads.32 There was a delay In Raders experiment becauseA he needed more students to join.B he didn’t prepare enough food for the 42 students.C he wanted two groups of participants, hungry and non-hungry.D he didn’t want to have the experiment at noon.33 Why did the 80 words flash so fast and at so small a size on the screen?A To make sure the participant had no time to think consciouslyB To ensure the participant was unable to perceive anything.C To guarantee each word came out at the same speed and size.D To shorten the time of the experiment34 Radel’s experiment discovered that hungry peopleA were better at identifying neutral words.B were always thinking of food-related words.C saw every word more clearly than stomach-full people.D were more sensitive to food-related words than stomach-full people.35 It can be learnt from what Radel says thatA humans’thinking processes are independent of their senses.B humans can perceive what they need without deep thinking processes.C an experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.D 42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.第二篇The Development of BalletBallet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changedBallet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens，as well as other nobility (贵族)，to participate in pageants that included music，poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate (复杂的)walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes，and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the Sate 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs (假发)and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russes, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet, One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.36 This passage deals mainly withA famous names in ballet.B Russian balletC how ballet has developedD why ballet is no longer popular37 The word “pageants”in Paragraph 2 meansA dancesB instructionsC royal courtsD big shows38 Professional ballet was first performed inA ItalyB FranceC RussiaD America39 Who had an important influence on early ballet?A Balanchine.B Antoinette.C Dlaghilev.D Louis XIV.40 Can conclude from this passage that balletA is a dying art.B will continue to change.C is currently performed only in Russia.D is often performed by dancers with little training.第三篇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 (许可)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. For example, federal geothermal (地热) resources produce about 7.5 billion kilowatt-hours (千瓦时)of electricity per year, 47 percent of all electricity generated from US geothermal energy. There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone, producing electricity for about 300,000 people. Federai hydropower (水电)facilities produce about 17 percent of ail hydropower produced in the United States.Because of the growing US thirst for energy and increasing public unease with dependence on foreign oil sources，pressure on public lands to meet US energy demands is becoming more intense. Public lands are available for energy development only after they have been evaluated through the land use planning process. If development of energy resources conflicts with management or use of other resources, development restrictions or impact moderation measures may be enforced, or mineral production may be banned altogether.41 What is the main idea of this passage?A Public lands are one of the main sources of revenues.B Public lands play an important role in energy production.C Public lands should be developed to ease energy shortage.D Public lands store huge energy resources for further development.42 Which of the following statements is true of public lands in the US?A Half of US energy is produced there.B The majority of undiscovered natural gas is stored there,C Most of coal was produced from there in 2000,D Most energy resources are reserved there.43 Geothermal resources, wind turbines, and hydropower facilities in Paragraph 4 are cited as examples to illustrate thatA alternative energy production is no less than conventional energy production.B they are the most typical conventional energy resources from public lands.C the amount of alternative energy production from public lands is huge.D geothermal resources are more important than the other two.44 There is a mounting pressure on public lands to satisfy US energy demands becauseA many Americans are unhappy with energy development in foreign countries.B quite a few public lands are banned for energy development.C many Americans think public lands are being abused.D the US is demanding more and more energy.45 Public lands can be used for energy development whenA they go through the land use planning process.B energy development restrictions are effective,C federal land managers grant permissions.D there is enough federal budget.五、补全短文(第46-50题，每题2分，共10分)A Doctor in the HouseBrushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. (46) It Is one of many gadgets (小装置)proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York —others Include a pair of glasses that help to jog your memory, and a home camera designed to check for cancer.The devices seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal。

2013年职称英语综合类C级概括大意模拟题(28)

2013年职称英语综合类C级概括大意模拟题（28）Happy Therapy(诊疗)Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often traveled around the world on business.He enjoyed his work and traveling.Then,after returning to tile United States from a busy and tiring trip to Russia,Mr.Cousins got sick.Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip,a chemical change began to take place inside him.The material between his bones became weak.In less than one week after his return,he could not stand.Every move that he made was painful.He was not able to sleep at night.The doctors told Mr.Cousins that they did not know how to cure his problems and he might never get over the illness.Mr.Cousins,however,refused to give up hope.Mr.Cousins thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself.Instead,he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.来自He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television.Mr.Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night.Deciding that the doctors could not help him,Mr.Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter.For eight days,Mr.Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television,reading funny books,and sleeping whenever he felt tired.Within three weeks,he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.After a few months,Mr.Cousins returned to work He had laughed himself back to health.Arctic MeltEarth's North and South Poles are famous for being cold and st year,however,the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean fell to a record low1.Normally,ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter and shrinks during the summer.But for many years,the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining. www.examｗ.comSince1979,each decade has seen an11.4percent drop in end-of-summer ice cover2.Between1981and2000,ice in the Arctic lost22percent of its thickness--becoming1.13meters thinner.Last summer,Arctic sea ice reached its skimpiest levels yet.By the end of summer2007,the ice had shrunk to cover just4.2million square kilometers.That's38percent less area than the average cover at that time of year.Andit's a very large23percent below the previous record low, which was set just2years ago.This continuing trend has scientists concerned.There may be several reasons for the ice melt,says Jinlun Zhang,an oceanographer at the University of Washington3in Seattle.Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer.The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic,leaving a large area of thin ice and open water4.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past.Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean.The extra heat warms both the water and the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year,surface temperatures were3.5℃Celsius warmer than average and1.5℃warmer than the previous record high5.With both air and water getting warmer,the ice is melting from both above and below.In some parts of the Beaufort Sea6,north of Alaska and western Canada,ice that measured3.3m thick at the beginning of the summer measured just50centimeters by season's end.The new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than scientists have seen by just looking at ice cover from above,says Donald K.Perovich,a geophysicist at the U.S.Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover,N.H.7Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend from which it may never recover.词汇：Arctic n.北极，北极圈；adj.北极的the Arctic Ocean北冰洋shrink v.萎缩；缩小，减少oceanographer n.海洋学家skimpy adj.缺乏的，不足的centimeter n.厘米geophysicist n.地球物理学家注释中华考试网1.fell to a record low:跌到历史最低点。

Kicking the HabitWhat is a bad habit? The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it, and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habit are part of what makes us human.Many early habits, like sucking our thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of our life, and becomes “programmed” into our brain.A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back. During the study programme, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.A few days later, the volunteers were given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and the second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time, most of themonly gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change out ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previously learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.16.
