They say Ireland’s the Best Ireland is the best place in the

world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week. The

ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being. The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls “freedom, family and community life”. Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (拥挤), gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10. That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的) , picking up only 3. 89 points. “Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued, ” the report said, “some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃) in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.

“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.”The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics. No. 2 on the

list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.

The UK is positioned at No. 29, a much lower position chiefly because

of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics.

The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half the league at 60th. a) For 2,005 years, Ireland has

been the best place for humans to live in. A. right B. wrong C.

not mentioned b) Job security is the least important measure of

life quality. A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned 3. Cost of living in Ireland is pretty high. A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned 4. Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable. A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned 5. Ireland is positioned at No. 1 because it combines the most desirable elements of the new with some good elements of the old. A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned

6. To measure life quality is easy. A. right B. wrong C. not

2020年职称英语考试综合类阅读判断练习及答案(10)

2020年职称英语考试综合类阅读判断练习及答案(10) Disease, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention Disease may be defined as the abnormal state in which part or all of the body is not properly adjusted or is not capable of carrying on all its required functions. There are marked variations in the extent of the disease and in its effect on the person. In order to treat a disease, the doctor obviously must first determine the nature of the illness–this is, make a diagnosis. A diagnosis is the conclusion drawn from a number of facts put together. The doctor must know the symptoms, which are the changes body function felt by the patient and the signs(also called objective symptoms) which the doctor himself can observe. Sometimes a characteristic group of signs(or symptoms)accompanied a given disease. Such a group is called a syndrome. Frequently certain laboratory tests are performed and the results evaluated by the physician in making his diagnosis. Although nurses do not diagnose, they play an extremely valuable role in this process by observing closely for signs, encouraging the patient to talk about himself and his symptoms, and then reporting this information to the doctor. Once the patience's disorder is known, the doctor prescribes a course of treatment, also referred to as therapy. Many measures in this course of treatment are carried out by the nurse under the physician's orders. In recent years physicians, nurses and other health workers have taken on increasing responsibilities in

2021年职称英语考试通关做题技巧全攻略(4)

职称英语考试通关做题技巧全攻略(4) xx年职称英语考试通关做题技巧全攻略 1、“概括大意”部分 它是考题第23-26题,是要求就给定要考的短文(原文)四个段落进行概括段落大意,在六个给出的选项中分别选出与其各段落大意相符的选项句子,也就是在6个选项句子中选出与要考的段落大意(中心思想、主题或核心内容)一致的正确答案,6个选项中有两个干扰项,短文中只考4个段落。如何让4上选项正确的对号入座呢?这类题的关键是首先要确定各选项句子的关键词,接着是确定能体现要考段落大意的中心句或中心词,最后是用选项关键词与中心句、中心词进行对比,一个个确定正确答案。 (1)做题步骤及技巧: 做题总思路:目标明确,直奔主题。做这类题就是要在6个选项中确定4个与要考4个段落大意相一致的正确答案,只需要考虑4个要考段落和6个选项,所以,我们要采用把段落变成句子,把句子变成单词的化整为零的方法来做。做这类题的总思路就是:首先确定各6个选项句子的关键词,接着是确定能体现要考段落大意的

中心句或中心词,最后是用选项关键词与中心句、中心词进行对比,意思相同或相近者就是了。做此类题分以下4步走: 1)第一步:一步到位,快速确定6个选项的关键词。由于是概括段落大意,选项句子的关键词一定是实义词,一般也就是句子的名词(专有名词)、数词及其短语。确定选项句子关键词的方法可参照“阅读判断题”的“做题步骤技巧的第一步”的方法,两者基本雷同,并且确定选项关键词更简单,就是实义词。这一步,只需要把实义词快速勾划出来,做个明显标志就行了,(当然,要明白关键词意思,你可千万别忘了你带的字典哟)。 2)第二步:准确找出要考段落,仔细推敲该段落,确定该段落的中心句或中心词。这是最重要的一步。确定段落中心句或中心词按以下技巧进行: A、确定段落中心句的技巧有: (A)按该段落的第一句、第二句、最后一句、最后二句、长句、段中句、整段阅读顺序进行寻找确定,如果最后都确定不了,那就要寻找中心词了。按统计,段落中心句是第一句的可能性超过50%,第二句超过20%,最后一句超过20%,需要整段阅读的不到10%,因为按写作手法,一般文章都是采用归纳法或演绎法的,所以一般段

2020年职称英语理工A概括大意真题及答案

2020年职称英语理工A概括大意真题及答案 Geothermal(地热)Energy 1.Since heat naturally moves from hotter regions to cooler ones, the heat from the earth's center flows outwards towards the surface. In this way, it transfers to the next layer of rock. If the temperature is high enough, some of this rock melts and forms magma(岩浆). The magma ascends in its turn towards the earth's surface. It often remains well below the earth's surface, creating vast areas of hot rock. In such regions, there are deep cracks, which allow rainwater to descend underground. Some of the heated rainwater travels back up to the earth's surface where it will appear as a hot spring. However, if this ascending hot water reaches a layer of impermeable(不可渗透的)rock, it remains trapped, forming a geothermal reservoir. If geothermal reservoirs are close enough to the surface, they can be reached by drilling wells. Hot water and steam shoot up the wells naturally, and can be used to produce electricity in geothermal power plants. 2.A few geothermal power plants depend on dry-stem reservoirs which produce steam but little or no water. In these cases, the steam is piped up directly to provide the power to spin a turbine generator. The first geothermal power plant, constructed at Lardarello in Italy, was of this type, and is still producing electricity today. 3.Most currently operating geothermal power plants are either "flash" steam plants or binary(双重的)plants. Flash plants produce mainly hot water ranging in temperature from 300° to 700°Fahrenheit. This water is passed through one or

When something creates a sound wave in a room or anauditorium, listeners hear the sound wave directly from the source. They alsohear the reflections as the sound bounces off thewalls. floor, and ceiling. These are called the reflected wave or reverberant(反射)sound, which can be heard evenafter the sound is no longer coming from the source. The reverberation time of an auditorium isdetermined by the volume or interior size of the auditorium. It is alsodetermined by how well or how poorly the walls, ceiling, floor, and contents ofthe room (including the people) absorb sound. There is no ideal reverberation time,because each use of an auditorium calls for different reverberation. Speechneeds to be understood clearly; therefore rooms used for talking must have ashort reverberation time. The full-sound performance of music such ad Wagneroperas or Mahler symphonies should have a long reverberation time. The light,rapid musical passages of Bach or Mozart need a reverberation time somewherebetween. Acoustic problems often are caused by poorauditorium design. Smooth, curved reflecting surfaces create large reflections.Parallel (平行的)wallsreflect sound back and forth, creating a rapid, repetitive pulsing https://www.doczj.com/doc/2d9192693.html,rge pillars (柱)and comerscan cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object.Some of these

职称英语考试备考5大方法

职称英语考试备考5大方法 第一,过度讲究方法和技巧,而不愿意下真功夫。语言的使用是 一种技能,但这种技能不是专靠技巧能够获得的。太讲究方法和技巧 会被其占用很多的时间和精力,而对学习的内容本身投入较少的时间 和精力,所以反而会影响学习的效果。如有一个参加高等教育自学考 试的青年,他订了十 多种讲自学和考试的刊物,认真学习和研究,讲起方法来一套一 套的,可他每次参考的科目却大多考不及格。这是因为他只顾钻研方 法和技巧,在学习内容上花的时间和精力太少,而且养成了投机取巧、不肯下功夫的习惯。方法和技巧只能适当利用,并且要从自己的学习 实践中摸索出适合自己的方法和技巧才会真正管用。 第二,过度讲究速度和效率,不愿花时间经常重复(复习)已学过 的内容,只求懂了则罢。语言的使用既是一种技能,技能则只有靠熟 能生巧,要持续的重复才会熟练,只有熟练了才会形成一种应用自如、不假思索的技能。 第三,三天打鱼两天晒网,没有恒心,不能长期坚持学习。技能 的熟练要有一个过程,在这个过程中会遇到各种困难,但不能向困难 低头,要坚持不懈地反复学习,持之以恒。 第四,不重视听力训练。语言是有声的,我们对语言的感受首先 是语言的声音作用于我们的大脑,如果不练习听力,仅仅默默地阅读 和背单词,其结果不但听不懂别人讲外语,而且阅读水平也难以提升。 第五,只学而不“用”,完全是以“学”的态度来学外语。语言 的实践性很强,如果只学而不用,就永远也学不好。我们学语言的目 的就是为了应用,要学会在用中学习,这样才能提升兴趣,达到好的 学习效果。 值得特别注意的是,“用”不但仅有意识的用,很多时候是要无 意识的“用”。比如在吃饭、洗碗、聊天、上网、洗脸、洗脚、洗衣

Similar to your bedside alarm clock,your internal clock2 runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle,called a circadian rhythm,helps control when you wake,when you eat and when you sleep. Somewhere around puberty,something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward,so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it's time for bed,your body may be pushing you to stay up3 for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later. This shift4 is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body's clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark5. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems,too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud6when they don't get enough sleep,says Mary Carskadon,a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence,RI7 .It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn. But just like your alarm clock,your internal clock can be reset. In fact,it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes. Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years,researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body's clock8were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing

职称英语考试必过宝典:词典这样用最好

Is it art or is it just vandalism (野蛮行为)? Well, it's still a crime, but graffiti (涂鸦) has changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory. Street art has become much more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his "tag" , TAKI 183, all over the New York underground in 1971, and hip - hop culture was born. Hip-hop is a mixture of art, music and dancing, poetry, language and fashion. It came from young inner-city people who fell left out by their richer classmates and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could. An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale, Creater Manchester, has been sosuccessful that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June. "We're planning to get people together from different countries like France and Cermany for a week, " says Liam, one of the organizers. The scheme started in 2000, and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes. " We all share a commen interest and get on really well with each other. " The first site to be chosen was a subway. " Before we began, people were afraid to use the subway. We had it cleaned up and now, with all the artists hanging out down there, people are using it again. People can relate to graffiti much more now. " By providing places to display their talents legally, there has been a fall in the amount of "tagging" on people's private property. Street artists Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age. In art classes at school he was really frustrated because the Art teacher didn't spend time with him. They thought he was already very good at art and so spend more time with other students. So, at 12 years old, Temper started painting with all these guys he'd hooked up with who were about 22 years old. He looked
