You bet.There are thousands of islands in the Caribbean Sea.They are famous for their warm,tropical climate and great natural beauty.
The Caribbean Islands form a chain that separates the Caribbean Sea from the rest of the Atlantic Ocean.(1)Many of the islands were formed by the eruption(爆发)of ancient volcanoes(火山).Others are Iow-lyin9coral islands that gradually rose from the ocean.
The Caribbean Islands are known by several names.(2)The explorer
Christopher Columbus called the islands the Indies in1492 because he thought he was near the coast of https://www.doczj.com/doc/9513972219.html,ter,Spain and France called the islands the Antilles.
There are four large islands in the Caribbean Sea.(3)These four islands are often called the Greater Antilles.Together, they account for about90percent of the land area of the Caribbean Islands.
The rest of the Caribbean Islands are much smellier.(4) You can see why pirates such as the famous Blackboard sailed these waters.There are countless small islands to bury treasure or hide on.
The weather of the Caribbean Sea is almost always warm and sunny.Sandy beaches line the coasts of many islands.(5)Many tourists arrive on cruise ships.
A But life on the Caribbean Islands is not always paradise.
B The earliest name used by Europeans is the Indies,later changed to the West Indies.
C They're like a long necklace that stretches between North and South America.
D They are Cuba,Puerto Rico,Jamaica,and Hispaniola.

The Joy of Living Alone
More and more Americans are living atone.Some live atone because of divorce or the death of a partner.(1)According to a recent U.S.census(人口普查),25percent of all households
in the U.S.are made up of just one person.This is a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago.
The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely.
(2)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
It's now socially acceptable,even fashionable,to live alone.As people get better jobs and become financially independent,it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household.(3)However,people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.
The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it."Living alone is a luxury,"says Nina Hagiwara,38. "Once you do it,you can't ever go back to living with others." David C'Debaca,46,agrees.(4)
Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please.
(5)The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.
A There's more pressure to get married nowadays.
B The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
C However,even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.
D It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.
E In fact,a quarter of the23million single people in the U.S.are under the age of35.
F He says,"1like being by myself."

The first principle is Consumer Concept.To build a successful business,you have to develop products around things people value,especially quality.
(2)He created clothes to match people's wants:the style

The System Link is another feature of good marketing.For Benetton,this means waiting to get information about what customers like and what they dislike before making the clothes.
(3)
The Information Link means making sure the company responds quickly to People’s demands.(4)This information is then sent to the main office in Italy.Benetton can use this information to identify popular products and to continue making them;it can also identify less popular products and stop making them.
A final important marketing principle is the Retail Link. There are Benetton stores in countries around the would.All the stores have the same clothing,the same window displays, and the same approach to sales.(5)
The things people like about Benetton stores are that the quality is always high and the prices are generally low.And that spells success.
A The founder of Benetton began by asking people what they wanted.
B There used to be a good reason for this.
C When something is sold at a Benetton store,the store
records information about the type,size,and color of the item.
D Today,there are Benetton shops in major cities all over the world.

F in other words,Benetton's clothes are made to order.答案1.D2.A3.F4.C5.E
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together,according to a book by Dr.Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The first four minutes,he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:__1__.A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.
You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__.If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident.In general, he says,People like people who like themselves.
On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is important to appear
interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his won needs,fears,and hopes.
Hearing such advice,one might say,But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person.That's not my nature.It would be dishonest for me to at that way.
__3__.We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality.It is like getting used to a new car.It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one.
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way?Perhaps, but according to Dr.Zunin,total honest is not always good for social relationships,especially during the first few minutes of contact.There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger.That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
__4__.For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart.Dr.Zunin suggests that these first
few minutes together be treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along with reading, writing,and mathematics.__5__that is at least as important as how much we know.
A.In reply,Dr.Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B.Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C.In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D.Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E.He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F.He is eager to make friends with everyone.The first four minutes

The world’s longest bridge
Rumor has it that a legendary six—headed monster lurks in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sicily.——(1)——When completed in2010，the world’s longest bridge will weigh nearly300，000 tons—equivalent to the iceberg that sank the Titanic—and stretch5kilometers long.“That’s nearly50percent longer than any other bridge ever built，”says structural engineer Shane Rixon.
——(2)——They’re suspension bridges，massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges.A suspension bridge needs just two towers to shoulder the
structure’s mammoth weight，thanks to hefty supporting cables slung between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge.The Messina Strait Bridge will have two54，100-ton towers，which will support most of the bridge’s load.The beefy cables of the bridge.each1.2meter in diameter,will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built.
When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005，the first job will be to erect two370meter-tall steel towers.——(3)——Getting these cables up will be something.It’s not just their length—totally 5.3 kilometers—but their weight.——(4)——
After lowering vertical“suspender”cables from the main cables.builders will erect a60meter-wide54.630-ton steel roadway,or deck——wide enough to accommodate12lanes of traffic.The deck’s weight will pull down on the cables with a force of70，500tons.In return，the cables yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of139。000 tons—equivalent to the weight of about100，000cars.Those anchors are essential.——(5)——

2016职称英语教材-卫生类C级完形填空及参考译文1 第一篇Better Control of TB Seen If a Faster Cure Is Found The World Health Organization1 estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis . Most times, the infection remains inactive. But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB, usually in their lungs. Two million people die of it. The disease has increased with the spread of AIDS and drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Current treatments take at least six months. People have to take a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop as soon as they feel better. Doing that can lead to an infection that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-acting cure for tuberculosis would be more effective. Now a study estimates just how effective it might be. A professor of international health at Harvard University2 led the study. Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients cured. It would also mean fewer infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others. The researchers developed a mathematical model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan. They tested the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia. The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases. And it might prevent about twenty-five percent of TB deaths. The model shows that these reductions would take place between two thousand twelve and two thousand thirty. That is, if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by two thousand twelve. The World Health Organization reductions the DOTS3 program in nineteen ninety. DOTS is Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course. Health workers watch tuberculosis patients take their daily pills to make sure they continue treatment. Earlier this year, an international partnership of organizations announced a plan to expand the DOTS program. The ten-year plan also aims to finance research into new TB drugs. The four most common drugs used now are more than forty years old. The Global Alliance for TB Drug Development4 says its long-term goal is a treatment that could work in as few as ten doses. 1.找到速效治疗剂可以更好控制结核病 世界卫生组织估计全球有大约三分之一的人感染了导致结核病的病菌。大多数时候，这种感染是不活跃的。但是每年大约有八百万结核病病例，通常是在肺部。两百万人因此丧命。结核病发病率由于艾滋病的传播和抗药型结核病的出现而增加。目前的治疗至少需要六个月。患病者不得不每日服用多种抗生素药品。许多人在稍感舒适后就停止使用药品，这么做可能导致抗药性感染。公共卫生专家一致认为针对结核病的速效治疗剂将会更加有效果。现在有一项研究评估这种速效治疗剂究竟效力有多大。这项研究由美国哈佛大学国际卫生方面的教授率领。Joshua Salomon说，疗程较短的治疗计划可能不仅仅意味着更多病人被治好，也意味着将感染传给别人的病人会更少。 研究者们设计了一个数学模型来检测两个月治疗计划的效果。他们以东南亚目前的结核病情况来检验这个模型。科学家们发现两个月的治疗可以防止大约20％的新病例，也可能防止大约5％因结核病引起的死亡。这个模型表明，如果速效治疗剂可以在2012年前研发出来并大规模使用的话，减少结核病例在2012年到2030年间就可以实现。 世界卫生组织在1990年制定了DOTS计划，DOTS意指短期直接观察治疗。卫生工作者监督结核病人每天服药，以确信他们继续治疗。今年年初，一个国际组织同盟宣布了一项扩大DOTS的计划。这个十年计划也旨在资助新结核药品的研究。现在四种最常用的药品也有四十多年的历史了。全球结核病药物开发联盟宣称它的长期目标是找到一种治疗方法，可以通过十次剂量就效果。

The First Four Minutes最初四分钟 When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?人们什么时候决定他们是否愿意成为朋友？During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, “Contact：The first four minutes" he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships：“Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. (1) A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that. ”按列奥纳多?祖尼博士的书中所说是在他们相处的最初四分钟。在他的书《接触：最初四分钟》里，他向所有对开始新的友谊感兴趣的人们提出了这样的建议：“每次你在社交场合遇到什么人时，全神贯注地注意他四分钟。如果这样做了的话，他们的生活就会完全不同。”； You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. 你可能已经注意到了，一般人都不会全神贯注地注意一个他刚认识的人。(2) He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more.他不停地往其他人身后看，好像要在屋里其他地方找到更趣的人似的。If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.如果有人对你这样，你大概不会很喜欢他。
页眉内容 职称英语考试已经进入了最后30天的倒计时阶段，这会儿考生通常会感到压力倍增,有的考生甚至会陷入迷茫或是感到慌乱，不知道这一个月该如何好好利用，才能达到临阵磨枪、事半功倍的效果。英文有句谚语，叫More haste, less speed，即“欲速则不达”，考生在积极备考的同时，重点要掌握复习技巧和乐观心态俗称“HOLD住”。 一、词汇 职称英语考试允许考生携带词典进入考场，网球网校职称英语名师幺建华老师建议大家查词速度应保证在3-6个/分钟，切记要反、正查，从而保证词汇的正确率，对查字典的过程要做到熟能生巧，这样这可在考场提高速度、节省时间，这样词汇选项的15分，至少可以取得12分。 二、常用词组及句型 我们在强化阶段应该注意对平时阅读中出现的固定搭配与词组进行搜集、积累与记忆,建议记在固定一个本上，每天利用一些零散时间去学习、观察、记忆。 三、教材、新增文章 根据出题规律，教材新增文章在考试中出现的几率相对较大，在复习教材时，要注意先以复习本类别本级别的新增文章为主，然后再看本类别其他级别的新增文章。例如考综合A 的考生，可以先看综合A的新增文章，然后再看综合类B级和C级的新增文章。 四、“历年真题”和”模拟试题” 在考试前的最后20天里，可以从”历年考试真题”和模拟试题”中选出自己类别、级别的试卷按真正考试的做题顺序、做题时间、做题技巧和基本得分试题的解题方法，卡表试做、演练，多走几遍程序，直到熟练应对。 五、及时做总结 有的考生练习做了不少，但是水平提高不多。究其原因，主要是缺少了总结这一环节。正所谓“学而不思则罔”。只练习不总结就是缺少了更高层次的思考，所以要找出自己的不足在哪里，并要有针对性地加以改正。重要的一点是在复习冲刺阶段就不要过多地抠偏题难题，要注意知识之间的联系，避免孤立地强记硬背。注重基础知识与实战练习的结合,达到掌握知识的目的。 注:分数比例大的题型可多花时间着重复习!复习充分全面，就会增强自信，减轻焦虑心理。 页脚内容1
职称英语理工类B级阅读理解真题及答案(第三篇) 第4部分：阅读理解（第31——45题，每题3分，共45分） 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个选项。 第三篇 Can You Hear This? 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/9513972219.html,rge pillars (柱）and comerscan cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object.Some of these

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

2020职称英语补全短文练习题(1) The Invader of AIDS The invader is small, even in the microscopic world of bacteria and viruses. It is alive only in the strictest sense of the world. It had no intelligence, no means of mobility, no methods of defense in the outside world. It is fragile, easily killed by common household bleach(漂白剂)and even short periods outside the body. 1 .
