一、The writer learned from his grandparents that you are either honest or you are not; there is no middle ground. Honesty is a moral standard inside you, and you use it to judge the quality of your behavior. Honesty is in short supply. You must demand it of yourself. A good test of honesty involves three key principles: first, standing firmly for your convictions when confronted with pressure; second, always giving other people the praise they merit ; third, being honest and open about who you are. Self-respect and a clear conscience help make relationships with others stronger.作者从他的祖父母,你要么诚实,或者你不;不存在中间地。
诚信是一个道德标准在你,你用它来判断质量的行为。
诚实是供不应求。
你必须要求它自己。
一个很好的测试涉及的三个关键原则:诚信第一,坚定你的信念当面对压力;其次,总是给别人赞美他们的优点;第三,诚实和开放关于你是谁。
自尊和问心无愧帮助与他人的关系更强大。
二、Americans are time-conscious people. They value time and save it carefully. Time is a real, precious resource to them so every minute must count. Foreigners may think Americans are always in a hurry and under pressure. Smiles, short conversations, and small exchanges with strangers don’t exist because Americans dislike “wasting”too much time. Americans assess others professionally rather than socially, so they start talking business immediately since they are always conscious of time. Americans work hard at saving time by producing a steady flow of labor-saving devices. They may have meetings using equipment like television screens and telephones rather than in person. Solving a problem or doing a job successfully with speed is taken as a sign of skillfulness. The more important the job, the more time and effort Americans will pour into it.美国人在时间意识的人。

职称英语理工类A级考试真题及答案(部分)Small But WiseOn December 14, NASA1 blasted a small but mighty telescope into space. The telescope is called WISE and is about as wide around as a trashcan. Don’t let its small size fool you: WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some the wildest objects2 in the known universe, including asteroids, faint stars, blazing galaxies3 and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born.“I’m very excited because we’re going to be s eeing parts of the universe that we haven’t seen before, “said Ned Wright, a scientist who directs the WISE project.Since arriving in space, the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth, held by gravity in a polar orbit4 (this means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap5). Its camera is pointed outward, away from the Earth, and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes. After six months it will have taken pictures across the entire sky.The pic tures taken by WISE won’t be like everyday digital photographs, however. WISE stands for “Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer.” As its name suggests, the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation6.Radiation is energy that travels as a wave. Visible light, including the familiar spectrum of light7 that becomes visible in a rainbow, is an example of radiation. When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree, for example, it receives the wavesof visible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens, they’re processed by the camera, which then puts the image together.Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light, so ordinary digital cameras don’t s ee them, and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye, longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin.That’s a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can’t. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids, for example, are giant rocks that float through space — but they absorb most of the light that reaches them. They don’t reflect light, so they’re difficult to see. But they do give off infrared radiation, so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them. During its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.Brown dwarfs8 are another kind of deep-space object that will show up in WISE’s pictures. These object s are “failed” stars — which means they are not massive enough to jump start9 the same kind of reactions that power stars such as the sun. Instead, brown dwarfs simply shrink and cool down. They’re so dim that they’re almost impossible to see with visible light, but in the infrared spectrum they glow.词汇:trashcan / ‘traelig;,kaelig;n/n.垃圾箱infrared/’infr’red/ adj.红外线asteroid/’aelig;strid/ n.小行星dwarf/dw:f/ n. 矮星注释:1.NASA (美国国家航空航天局)是缩写词,全称是National Aeronautics and Space Administration。

The Weight ExperimentNicola Walters has been taking part in experiments inScotland to discover why humans gain and lost weight. Being locked in a small room called a 'calorimeter'(热量测量室)is one way to find out.1 The sighs above the two rooms read simply "Chamber One" and "Chamber Two". These are the calorimeters: 4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are locked up in the name of science. Outside these rooms another sign reads "Please do not enter- work in progress" and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers every move the volunteers make. Each day, meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.2 Nicola Walters is one of twenty volunteers who, over the past eight months, have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and slim, Nicola does not have a weight problem, but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness programme. A self-employed community dance worker, she was able to fit the experiment in around her work. She saw an advert for volunteers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise, she thought she would help out.3 The experiment on Nicola involved her spending one dayon a fixed diet at home and the next in the room. This sequence was repeated four times over six weeks. She arrived at the calorimeter at 8:30 am on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefully measured. Her every move was noted too, her daily exercise routine timed to the last second. At regular intervals, after eating, she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.【备注说明,非正文,实际使用可删除如下部分。

A Dolphin and an AstronomerOne day in 1963, a dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer, Carl Sagan, were playing a little game. The astronomer was visiting an institute which was looking into the way dolphins communicate with each other. Sagan was standing on the edge of one of the tanks where several of these friendly, highly intelligent creatures were kept. Elvar had just swum up alongside him and had turned on his back.The dolphin wanted Sagan to scratch his stomach again, as the astronomer had done twice before. Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting. Then, after a minute or so, the dolphin leapt up through the water and made a sound just like the word “more”. The astonished astronomer went to the director of the institute and told him about the incident. ‘Oh, yes. That’s one of the words he knows,’ the director said, showing no surprise at all.Dolphins have bigger brain in proportion to their body size than humans have, and it has been known for a long time that they can make a number of sounds. What is more, these sounds seem to have different functions, such as warning each other of danger. Sound travels much faster and much further in water than it does in air. That is why the parts of the brain that deal with sound are much better developed in dolphin than in humans. But can it be said thatdolphins have a ‘language’, in the real sense of the word? Scientists don’t agree on this.A language is not just a collection of sounds, or even words. A language has a structure and what we call a grammar. The structure and grammar of a language help to give it meaning. For example, the two questions “Who loves Mary?” and “Who does Mary love?” mean very different things. If you stop to think about it, you will see that this difference do esn’t come from the words in the question but from the difference in structure. That is why the question “Can dolphins speak?” can’t be answered until we find out if dolphins not only make sounds but also arrange them in a grammatical order which affects their meaning.16 The astronomer was not interested in the way dolphins communicate with each other.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 The dolphin leapt up into the air because Sagan was too near the water.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Parts of the dolphin’s brain are particularly well developed to handle different kinds of sound.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Dolphins are the most useful animals to humans.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 Dolphins travel faster in water than any other animals.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Some scientists believe that dolphins have a language of their own.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Sounds can be called a language only when they have a structure and a grammar.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分: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2、3、5和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。

The Weight ExperimentNicola Walters has been taking part in experiments in Scotland to discover why humans gain and lost weight. Being locked in a small room called a ‘calorimeter’(热量测量室)is one way to find out.1 The sighs above the two rooms read simply “Chamber One” and “Chamber Two”.These are the calorimeters: 4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are locked up in the name of science. Outside these rooms another sign reads “Please do not enter- work in progress” and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers every move the volunteers make. Each day, meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.2 Nicola Walters is one of twenty volunteers who, over the past eight months, have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter. Tall and slim, Nicola does not have a weight problem, but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness programme. A self-employed community dance worker, she was able to fit the experiment in around her work. She saw an advert for volunteers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area ofdiet and exercise, she thought she would help out.3 The experiment on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed diet at home and the next in the room. This sequence was repeated four times over six weeks. She arrived at the calorimeter at 8:30 am on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefully measured. Her every move was noted too, her daily exercise routine timed to the last second. At regular intervals, after eating, she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.4 The scientists help volunteers impose a kind of order on the long days they fa ce in the room. “The first time, I only took one video and a book, but it was OK because I watched TV the rest of the time,” says Nicola. And twice a day she used the exercise bike. She pedaled () for half anhour, watched by researchers to make sure she d idn’t go too fast.5 It seems that some foods encourage you to eat more, while others satisfy you quickly. Volunteers are already showing that high-fat diets are less likely to make you feel full. Believing that they may now know what encourages people to overeat, the researchers are about to start testing a high-protein weight-loss diet. Volunteers are required and Nicola has signed up for further sessions.A What does the calorimeter look like inside?B What program was designed for the experiment?C What is a calorimeter?D What is the first impression?E How do the volunteers kill the time?F Why did Nicola join in the experiments?23 Paragraph 1____________24 Paragraph 1____________25 Paragraph 1____________26 Paragraph 1____________27 The machinery outside the calorimeters records everything___________.28 Nicola Walters had time for the experiments________________.29 Volunteers have to get prepared for the time in the calorimeter____________.30 The experiments show that high-fat diets_____________.A the volunteers doB because she does not have a weight problemC because the life there can be very boringD make people overeatE because she was her own bossF after passing a high-protein test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,每道题后面有4个选项。
