Mobile PhonesMobile phones should carry a label if they proved1to be a dangerous source of radiation,according to Robert Bell,a scientist.And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated,he said.“Nobody’s going to drop dead overnight2 but we should be asking for more scientific information,”Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation.____1____A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation. According to Robert Bell,there are3.3million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by2,000a day3. ____2____As well,there are2,000transmitter towers around Australia,many in high density residential areas5. ____3____The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.Robert Bell suggests that until more research is completedthe Government should ban construction of phone towers from within a500metre radius of school grounds,child care centres, hospitals,sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children.____4____He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.____5____According to Robert Bell,it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it.Besides,he also urges the Government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.注释:1.动词prove用的是过去式形式proved,这是一种虚拟语气表示假设的用法。
概括大意文章及译文第六篇 How we form first impression我们是如何形成第一印象的对刚刚遇到的人我们都会有第一印象,为什么?除去一些描述或显而易见的特征,我们很可能对他们一无所知,那为什么我们他们形成主观的看法呢?这与你的大脑如何感知世界是息息相关的。
大脑对面部特征十分敏感,即使是在眼睛、耳朵或嘴部的位置的差异也会使大脑察觉到这个人是“不同的”。
实际上,大脑一直在不断地对接收到的感官信息——也就是影像和声音——进行处理。
大脑将这些“信号”与储存在脑皮层系统的大量“记忆” 相比较,以便确定这些新收到的信号的“意思”。
如果你在学校看到某个你认识而且喜欢的人,你的大脑会做出“熟悉安全”的判断;如果你看见了一个陌生的人,你的大脑会告诉你“陌生,有潜在的威胁”。
紧接着你的大脑会开始将这个陌生人的特征与“已知”的记忆进行比较。
包括身高、体重、穿着、种族、手势以及音调等。
特征越不相符,大脑越会告诫你,“这是陌生人,我不喜欢这个人”,或“我很好奇”。
大脑也可能观察到一张新面孔,但却有着熟悉的穿着、种族特征和手势——像你的朋友,这时大脑会告诉你“我喜欢这个人”。
但这些第一印象却可能是完全错误的。
当区分人时,我们会用一种不成熟的思维方式(与小孩子的那些不成熟的想法没区别)去对别人做出简单并且绝对性的判断。
(这样的后果是)我们将人区分为蠢货、反常的人或怪人,而不是对人的深度和广度,即历史、兴趣、价值、长处或真正的性格有所了解。
但是,如果对刻板印象加以抑制,我们就会有机会对一个人有真正的了解。
如果我们花一些时间与一个人在一起,倾听他或她的生活、希望和梦想,了解了这个人的性格,我们才会用一种不同的、更成熟的方式——用脑皮层中最复杂的区域——去思考。
这会使我们更富有人情味。

2015年职称英语考试理工类教材对比2015年新版职称英语教材新增文章系列之理工类阅读理解第二十二篇Real World RobotsWhen you think of a robot, do you envision a shiny, metallic device having the same general shape as a human being, performing humanlike functions, and responding to your questions in a monotone voice accentuated by high-pitched tones and beeps? This is the way many of us imagine a robot, but in the real world, a robot is not humanoid at all. Instead a robot often is a voiceless,box-shaped machine that efficiently carries out repetitive or dangerous functions usually performed by humans. Today’s robot is more than an automatic machine that performs one task again and again.A modern robot is programmed with varying degrees of artificial intelligence—that is, a robot contains a computer program that tells it how to perform tasks associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, drawing conclusions, and learning from past experience.A robot does not possess a human shape for the simple reason that a two-legged robot has great difficulty remaining balanced. A robot does, however, move from place to place on wheels and axles that roll and rotate. A robot even has limbs that swivel and move in combination with joints and motors. To find its way in its surroundings1, a robot utilizes various built-in sensors. Antennae attached to the robot’s base detect anything they bump into. If the robot starts to teeter as it moves on an incline, a gyroscope or a pendulum inside it senses the vertical differential. To determine its distance from an object and how quickly it will reach the object,the robot bounces beams of laser light and ultrasonic sound waves off obstructions in its path2. These and other sensors constantly feed information to the computer, which then analyzes the information and corrects or adjusts the robot’s actions. As science and technology advance, the robot too will progress in its functions and use of artificial-intelligence programs.【词汇】envision v. 想象,预想device n. 装置accentuate v. 强调,重读artificial intelligence n. 人工智能limb n. 臂antennae n. 天线incline v. 倾斜pendulum n. 钟摆ultrasonic adj. 超声的metallic adj. 金属的monotone n. 单调的humanoid adj. 像人的axle n. 轮轴rotate v. 旋转swivel n. 旋转teeter v. 摇晃gyroscope n. 陀螺仪,回转仪vertical n. 直立的【注释】1.To find its way in its surroundings...:为了在周围找到路……2.the robot bounces beams of laser light and ultrasonic sound waves off obstructions in its path:机器人发射激光束和超声波,反射到障碍物上(以此来探知路径)。

请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上Alaska1In1868Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state,symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867,when the peninsula was purchased from Russia.Then,most Americans had little interest in1,500,000square kilometers “of icebergs and polar bears”—beyond Canada's western borders,far from the settled areas of the United States.2In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle,Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears.Ice masses lie buried in the earth,which is permanently frozen to a depth of90or more meters.From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat,treeless region,but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.3Alaska is America's largest state,but only about 325,000people live there.According to estimates,800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about640,000hectares are being cultivated.4Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries.It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia,probably crossing Bering Strait,named for Vitus Bering,the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in1741.The Eskimos are the state's earliest known inhabitants.Russian fur traders established settlements but,by the time Alaska was sold to the United States,most of the traders had departed.5In1896gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border.Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike;some never returned.Alaska was never completely cut off again,although even today transportation is a major problem.There are only two motor routes from the U.S.mainland,and within the state, every town has its own airfield.Planes fly passengers,mail and freight to the most distant villages.6The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended,and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American literature,the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters.The fish caught in a single year range in valuefrom$80million to$90million.Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams,and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters.After fishing,the state's chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp.In recent years, Alaska's single most important resource has become oil.The state also has large deposits of coal,copper,gold and other minerals.23Paragraph3_________24Paragraph4_________25Paragraph5_________26Paragraph6_________A Rich resources of the stateB Connections with the outside worldC Transportation problemD The natives of the landE Cold climateF Land and population27For as long as three months of a year,the sun _________on the ice-covered land of Alaska.28According to statistics,_________of the total area of Alaska has been used for farming.29Alaska was originally part of Russia,but was bought _________30Gold did not bring to Alaska as much wealth_________A as fish doesB because of its rich natural resourcesC by the United States in the19th centuryD shines day and nightE only a very small percentageF a limited amount of the gold found there概括大意与完成句子(第23~30题,每题1分,共8分)阅读下面这篇短文,短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第1、3、4、6段每段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项,分别完成每个句子。
2015年职称英语理工类新增文章含翻译阅读理解第九篇An Essential Scientific ProcessAll life on the earth depends upon green plants. Using sunlight, the plants produce their own food. Then animals feed upon the plants. They take in the nutrients the plants have made and stored. But that’s not all. Sunlight also helps a plant produce oxygen. Some of the ox ygen is used by the plant, but a plant usually produces more oxygen than it uses. The excess oxygen is necessary for animals and other organisms to live.The process of changing light into food and oxygen is called photosynthesis. Besides light energy from the sun, plants also use water and carbon dioxide. The water gets to the plant through its roots. The carbon dioxide enters the leaves through tiny openings called stomata. The carbon dioxide travels to chloroplasts, special cells in the bodies of green plants. This is where photosynthesis takes place. Chloroplasts contain the chlorophylls that give plants their green color. The chlorophylls are the molecules that trap light energy. The trapped light energy changes water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and a simple sugar called glucose.Carbon dioxide and oxygen move into and out of the stomata. Water vapor also moves out of the stomata. More than 90 percent of water a plant takes in through its roots escapes through the stomata. During the daytime, the stomata of most plants are open. This allows carbon dioxide to enter the leaves for photosynthesis. As night falls, carbon dioxide is not needed. The stomata of most plants close. Water loss stops.If photosynthesis ceased, there would be little food or other organic matter on the earth. Most organisms would disappear. Th e earth’s atmosphere would no longer contain oxygen. Photosynthesis is essential for life on our planet.词汇:nutrient n.营养物organism n.生物体,有机体carbon dioxide n.二氧化碳chloroplast n.叶绿体molecule n.分子vapor n.水蒸气oxygen n.氧气photosynthesis n.光合作用chlorophyll n.叶绿素glucose n.葡萄糖cease v.停止注释:1.Then animals feed upon the plants.动物以植物为食。
第一篇More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing每晚只需8小时,睡眠过多非益事1Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.2Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up1 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night‘s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.2睡眠不足带来的危害已经广为人知,而一项新的研究表明睡眠过多同样会使人们产生不良后果。
圣地亚哥加利福尼亚大学的研究人员发现在入睡、保持睡眠等方面,每晚睡眠9或10小时的人比睡8小时的人存在更多问题。
而每晚仅睡7小时的人则表示,他们在入睡及休息后精力恢复程度上不及8小时睡眠者。
3These findings, which Dr Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine3, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night‘s rest may not need to set aside4 more than 8 hours a night He added that ―it might be a good idea‖ for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.4Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep — for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.Daniel Kripke博士在《心身医学》杂志上报告的这些新发现表明,人们如果想晚上休息好,每天留给睡眠的时间只需8小时。

Maglev Trains1A few countries are using powerful electromagnets to develop high-speed trains,called maglev trains.Maglev is short for magnetic levitation1,which means that these trains float over a guide way using the basic principles of magnets to replace the old steel wheel and track trains.2If you've ever played with magnets,you know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other2.This is the basic principle behind electromagnetic propulsion. Electromagnets are similar to other magnets in that they attract metal objects,but the magnetic pull is temporary.You can easily create a small electromagnet yourself by connecting the ends of a copper wire to the positive and negative ends of an AA-cell battery3.This creates a small magnetic field.If you disconnect either end of the wire from the battery,the magnetic field is taken away.3The magnetic field created in this wire-and-battery experiment is the simple idea behind a maglev train rail system.There are three components to this system:A large electrical power source,metal coils lining a guide way or track,and large guidance magnets attached to the underside of the train.4The big difference between a maglev train and a conventional train is that maglev trains do not have an engine --at least not the kind of engine used to pull typical train cars along steel tracks4.The engine for maglev trains is rather innoticeable.Instead of using fossil fuels,the magnetic field created by the electrified coils in the guideway walls and the track combines to propel the trains5.5The magnetized coil running along the track,called a guideway,repels the large magnets on the train's undercarriage, allowing the train to levitate between1to10cm above the guideway.Once the train is levitated,power is supplied to the coils within the guideway walls to create a unique system of magnetic fields that pull and push~th train along the guideway. The electric current supplied to the coils in the guideway walls is constantly alternating to change the polarity of the magnetized coils.This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward,while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust.6Maglev trains float on a cushion of air',eliminating friction.This lack of friction allows these trains to reach unprecedented ground transportation speeds of more than500kph, or twice as fast as the fastest conventional train.At500kph,you could travel from Paris to Rome in just over two hours.词汇:Levitate v.悬浮electrified v.使带电Levitation n.悬浮magnetize v.使带磁guideway n.导向槽line v.排列成行propelb vt.推进underside n.下侧,下面propulsion n.推进undercarriage n.车盘注释:1.Maglev is short for magnetic levitation:maglev是magnetic levitation的缩略词。
2.opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other:异极相吸,同极相斥3.AA-cell battery:5号电池4.at least not the kind of engine used to pull typical train cars along steel tracks:至少不是沿着轨道拉动典型的火车车厢的那种发动机。
5.the magnetic field created by the electrified coils in the guideway walls and the track combine to propel the train:由嵌入导向壁内的电磁线圈产生的磁场加上轨道,一起推动火车前进。
The magnetic field和the track是句子主语,created by the electrified coils in the guideway walls是过去分词短语,用作定语,修饰the magnetic field.练习:1.Paragraph32.Paragraph43.Paragraph54.Paragraph6A The Main Components of the Maglev Train SystemB High-speed Maglev due to Zero FrictionC The Working Principle of the Maglev TrainD Differences between Polarity and Magnetic FieldE Comparison of Maglev Trains with Traditional OnesF Maglev with a Powerful Motor5.Several countries in the world are using strong electromagnets6.You can connect a wire to the positive and negative ends of a battery.7.A unique system of magnetic fields is created by the coils8.The frictionless maglev train enables youA to develop a maglev train rail systemB To explain why maglev trains are fasterC to pull and push the train forwardD to create a magnetic fieldE to experiment with the maglev trainF to travel from Paris to Rome in about two hours答案与题解:1.A第三段了举了磁浮列车的三个组成部分,动力源、金属线圈和此贴。
选项A概括了第三段列的内容。
2.E第四段就磁浮列车和传统火车进行了比较:磁浮列车没有发动机而传统火车有发动机。
选项C用comparsion来概括是准确的。
3.C第五段比较详细的介绍了为什么磁浮列车会向前运动,也就揭示了磁浮列车的工作原理。
4.B在第五段解释了磁浮列车浮起和向前运动的原理之后,作者在第六段中进行了磁浮列车速度奇快的原因:去除了传统火车的车轮于铁轨的摩擦。
5.A选A的依据是本文第一段第一句:A few countries using powerful electromagnets to develop high-speed trains,called maglev trains.6.D第二段说,把电线与干电池相连接就能产生一个小磁场,而磁浮列车的运动原理与此相同。
第二段第四句是选择D的依据。
7.C第五段的第二句,即“0nce the train is levitated,power is supplied to the coils within the guideway walls to create a unique system of magnetic fields that pull and push the train along the guideway”,是选择c的依据。
