职称英语综合类阅读理解第7篇Modern Sun Worshippers逐句翻译

第⼀篇 Black Holes Most scientists agree that black holes exist but are nearly impossible to locate. A black hole in the universe is not a solid object, like a planet, but it is shaped like a sphere (球体). Astronomers(天⽂学家) think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinite (⽆限的) density (稠密). This single point is called a singularity (奇点). If the singularity theory is correct, it means that when a massive star collapses, all the material in it disappears into the singularity. The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all, but an infinitely dense point. Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity. Although black holes do exist, they are difficult to observe. These are the reasons. No light or anything else comes out of black holes. As a result, they are invisible to a telescope. In astronomical terms, black holes are truly. For example, a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon (视界) only 18 miles across. The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth. One light year is about 6 trillion (万亿) miles. Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance. In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist. There are still answers to be found, however, so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe. 1. Black holes are part of space. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 2.

Not mentioned 第⼆篇 The Race into Space American millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space. "Ispent sixty years on Earth and eight days in space and from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives," Tito explained. He loved his time in space. "Being in space and looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have." This kind of experience isn't cheap. It cost $20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. "For me it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when I didn't have any money," he told reporters. On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world's second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African Businessman. At the age of twenty-eight. He also paid $20 million for the eight-day trip. Both Tito and Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a company called Space Adventures. The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list for flights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn't exist yet. Many of the customers are people who like adventure.They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worded. Because it's so expensive, only very rich people Can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people. That day may soon here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an island in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia and Califomi, seven days in space, and a vacation in Tonga for $2 million. However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA's deputy assistant for space flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this it may administrator time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down? 1. Dennis Tito was the first tourist in space. A.,Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 2. Mark Shuttleworth is an engineer from the United States. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 3. Both Tito and Shuttleworth have climbed Mount Qomolangma. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 4. Space Adventures has about 100 customers waiting for their travel into space. A. Right 5. Space Adventures already has a spaceship. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 6, IOS will send its tourists into space from Tonga. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 7. Bill Readdy thinks that space flight is very dangerous. A. Right B. Wrong C.

2013职称英语理工类阅读理解原文答案译文之17A Sunshade for the PlanetEven with the best will1 in the world, reducing our carbon emissions is not going prevent global warming. It has become clear that even if we take the most strong measures to control emissions, the uncertainties in our climate models still leave open the possibility of extreme warming and rises in sea level. At the same time, resistance by governments and special interest groups makes it quite possible that the actions suggested by climate scientists might not be implemented soon enough.Fortunately, if the worst comes to the worse2, scientists still have a few tricks up their sleeves3. For the most part they have strongly resisted discussing these options for fear of inviting a sense of complacency that might thwart efforts to tackle the root of the problem. Until now, that is. A growing number of researchers are taking a fresh look at large-scale “geoengineering” projects that might b e used to counteract global warming. “I use the analogy of methadone4,” says Stephen Schneider, a climate researcher at Stanford University in California who was among the first to draw attention to global warming. “If you have a heroin addict, the correct treatment is hospitalization, and a long rehab. But if they absolutely refuse, methadone is better than heroin.Basically the idea is to apply “sunscreen” to the whole planet. One astronomer has come up with a radical plan to cool Earth: launch trillions of feather-light discs into space, where they would form a vast cloud that would block the sun’s rays.It’s controversial, but recent studies suggest there are ways to deflect just enough of the sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface tocounteract the warming produced by the greenhouse effect. Global climate models show that blocking just 1. 8 per cent of t he incident energy in the sun’s rays would cancel out the warming effects produced by a doubling of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That could be crucial, because even the most severe emissions-control measures being proposed would leave us with a doubling of carbon dioxide by the end of this century, and that would last for at least a century more.注释:1. the best will:昀好的愿望2. if the worst comes to the worst:如果昀昀糟糕的事情发生了。

新视界大学英语综合教程第七单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading坐在扶手椅上的旅行者乔治独自一人住在伦敦南部的一套公寓里。

他选择一个人生活，因为他感到无法忍受世人的无知和周围环境的丑陋。

众所周知，今天的伦敦已不再是一个美丽的城市，气候也并不宜人。

对于乔治来说，这个城市就像一个过于熟稔的老太婆，只有从适当的角度，他才能想起她当年的美貌，但最近他已经开始厌烦了。

他的生活很简朴，经济状况也还可以。

他可以穿着睡袍，终日坐在古老而舒适的扶手椅里阅读文学名著。

尽管他生性愤世嫉俗、悲观厌世，但却尤其喜欢阅读经典游记，所以，即便他坐在宽大、温暖的扶手椅里，也可以神游到天涯海角。

一天早上，他翻看着马塞尔·帕尼奥尔写的一本书。

书中帕尼奥尔对法国南部普罗旺斯地区的描述已经打动了好几代人。

普罗旺斯自然环境引人入胜，它背靠阿尔卑斯山低伏的山峦，面朝地中海湛蓝的海水，有着悠久的农耕和民间手工艺传统。

在帕尼奥尔看来，普罗旺斯富有乡村特色，比较保守，当地人天生不信任陌生人。

但是，乔治也通过其他书得知，普罗旺斯是一个对有钱人和艺术家都很有吸引力的地方。

它是画家之乡，毕加索在此居住过；也是作家之乡，欧内斯特·海明威在此居住过；还是演员之乡，碧姬·巴铎也在此居住过。

圣特鲁佩斯的海滩、戛纳的电影节、尼斯的餐馆和酒店，这些都给普罗旺斯增添了令人难以想象的魅力。

乔治越往下读，就越想亲眼去看一看普罗旺斯。

他无法按捺自己的好奇心，于是穿戴整齐去了一家旅行社。

经过一番仓促的谈论，他得知自己只消到火车站，就可以乘火车直达普罗旺斯的中心城市阿维尼翁。

令他万分惊奇的是，这趟激起他无尽遐想、色彩缤纷、会令他终身难忘的旅行，只要坐六个小时的火车，就能轻而易举地实现。

于是，他直奔车站，买了张票，订了座位。

乔治到火车站的时间很早，离开车还有一段时间。

车站旁边有一家法国餐馆，为顾客提供各种具有地中海风情的食物：从市场现买回的鲜鱼、奶酪、葡萄酒，还有吸收了大量阳光、色彩鲜艳的水果和蔬菜。

2019职称英语理工A考试教材阅读理解（七）Modern Sun WorshippersPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines1. Others are lookingfor culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken2 in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on3.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it4. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain5. This is the reason the Mediterranean6 has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts7 and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason： sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid8 every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living inSpain9.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism ,it's getting worse. The French can't figure out10 what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spoiling11 anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude12. They tolerate traffic jams13 and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as longas14 the sun shines, it's still better thanin the cold rainin Berlin, London, or Oslo.词汇：battlefield / 'btlfi：ld/n.战场，疆场inconvenience /inkn'vi：njns/n.带来麻烦的事情，不便resident /'rezidnt/n.居住者，居民Copenhagen /,kupn'heign/n.哥本哈根(丹麦首都)Amsterdam /,mst'dm/n.阿姆斯特丹(荷兰首都)vacation /v'kein/n.假期，休假coastline /'kustlain/n.海岸线tourism / 'turizm/n.旅游，观光pollute /p'lu：t/vt.弄脏，污染garbage /'ga：bid/n.废物，垃圾camper /'kmp/n.宿营者Berlin /b：'lin/n.柏林(德国首都)Oslo /'zlu/n.奥斯陆(挪威首都)economy /i'knmi/n.经济状况，经济;节省，节约注释：1. religious shrine：宗教圣殿2. have their pictures taken：请别人为他们照相3.

孙老师及全体工作人员祝学员春节快乐！第7课阅读理解2004年职称英语等级考试试题(综合A)第4部分：阅读理解:第1篇：p60Technology Transfer in Germany德国技术转让When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas思想, 观念and expertise from science. And though German prosperity(繁荣) has faltered (衰退) over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable (令人羡慕的) record for turning ideas into profit.Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network ok research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an eve r larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies.Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur (企业家), the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity-drive, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.While this debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organisation f or appled technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12,000 people. It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.31. What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?A.Technology transfer.B.Good management.C.Hard work.D.Fierce competition.32. Which of the following is NOT tru e of traditional university research?A.It is free.B.It is profit-driven.C.It is widely available.D.It is curiosity-driven.33. The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation f or applied technology in.A.C.Europe.D.Africa.34. When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?A.In 1940.st year.C.After the unification.D.In 1949.35. The word “expertise” in line 3 could be best replaced byA.“experts”.B.“scientists”.C.“scholars”.D.“special knowledge”.第1篇：Technology Transfer in Germany注：该文中心即文章题目---德国技术转让。
