写在最前面的关于30分题+15分1. +表示A级文章;*表示B即文章;其他为C级文章,考哪一级就看哪一级的内容,别的级别的题目完全不用看。
2. 每个级别新增阅读理解2篇完型填空2篇(今年以前完形填空只新增一篇),考试的时候,这两篇阅读理解必考一篇,文章完全一样,但是问题及答案不一定完全一样,所以仅仅记住答案是不可靠的,一定要结合后面的翻译把这篇文章看懂。
那么这里5道题目15分必定能拿到。
然后完型填空,先说今年以前,只新增一篇完型填空,这篇完型填空必考,只是留空的位置不会完全一样,大约有40%左右的留空位置是一样,所以光背答案是没得用的,一定要把文章看熟。
当然今年由于每个级别新增了2篇完型填空,那么考试的时候肯定也是2选1考一篇。
这里15道题15分也很容易能拿到。
3. 词汇有15道题,替换同义词,找本字典翻翻,这15分也不难,至少12分能拿到吧。
其他的题能拿多少分就看各位的英语底子了。
做最坏的打算,剩下的题目还有55分,按瞎蒙25%的概率能拿到13.75分,加上前面的45分大约也有58分左右,所以要完全靠瞎蒙的朋友考试前多扶扶老奶奶过马路,多积累点人品吧。
4. 以上只是投机取巧的方法,各位有时间的话还是花点时间复习下,但是考前一定要把新增的题目掌握好,就算英语底子好的朋友也起码可以节约不少考试时间。
5. 本人职称英语A\B\C级都是这样考过的,每年的规律都是一样的。
从客观角度说,每年的职称英语考试书都不便宜,新增的内容也不多,如果新增的东西里面没有价值,那么那本书还有谁买?那本书可是考试中心出的,阅读理解*第三+八篇 "Life Form Found" on Saturn's Titan*第四十篇 Teaching Math, Teaching Anxiety完形填空*第十一篇 Climate Change Poses Major Risks for Unprepared Cities*第十二篇 Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk*第三+八篇 "Life Form Found" on Saturn's TitanScientists say they have discovered hints of alien life1 on the Saturn's moon2. The discovery of a sort of life was announced after researchers at the US space agency,NASA3,analyzed data from spacecraft Cassini4,which pointed to,the existence of methane-based form of life on Saturn's biggest moon.Scientists have reportedly discovered clues showing primitive alien beings are"breathing" inTitan's dense atmosphere filled with hydrogen.They argue that hydrogen gets absorbed before hitting Titan's planet-like surface covered with methane lakes and rivers. This,they say,points to the existence of some"bugs"5 consuming the hydrogen at the surface of the moon less than half the size of the Earth."We suggested hydrogen consumption because it's the obvious gas for life to consume on Titan,similar to the way we consume oxygen on Earth,"says NASA scientist Chris McKay."If these signs do turn out to be a sign of life,it would be doubly exciting because it would represent a second form of life independent from water-based life on Earth."To date,scientists have not yet detected this form of life anywhere,though there are liquid-water-based microorganisms on Earth that grow well on methane or produce it as a waste product. On Titan, where temperatures are around 90 Kelvin6(minus 290 degrees Farenheit),a methanebased organism would have to use a substance that is liquid as its medium for living processes, but not water itself. Water is frozen solid on Titan's surface and much too cold to support life as we know it.Scientists had expected the Sun's interactions with chemicals in the atmosphere to produce a coating of acetylene on Titan's surface. But Cassini detected no acetylene on the surface.The absence of detectable acetylene on the Titan's surface can very well have a non-biological explanation,said Mark Allen,a principal investigator7 of the NASA Titan team."Scientific conservatism suggests that a biological explanation should be the last choice after all non-biological explanations are addressed,"Allen said. "We have a lot of work to do to rule out8 possible non-biological explanations. It is more likely that a chemical process,without biology,can explain these results."词汇:Saturn /'sætən/ n.土星 methane/'mi:θein/ n.甲烷,沼气Titan/'taitən/ n.土卫六 acetylene/ə'setili:n/ n.乙炔alien/'eiljən/ n.外星人;adj.外星球的;相异的conservatism/kən'sʒ:vətizəm/ n.保守主义,守旧注释:1.hints of alien life:外星生命迹象。

Some things we know about language我们知道的关于语言的一些事情Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother.Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized. but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known 1anguages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.This has not always been well understood;indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the 1anguage of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense.There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and a11 of them rum out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time.Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.练习:1.In the second paragraph the author thinks thatA)some backward race doesn't have a language of its own.B)some race in history didn't possess a language of its own.C)any human race, whether backward or not, has a language.D)some races on earth call communicate without language.2.According to the author, people of undeveloped cultures can have languages.A)complicatedB)uncivilizedC)primitiveD)well-known3.The author has used American Indian languages as all example to show that they areA)just as old as some well-known languages.B)just as sophisticated as some well-known languages.C)more developed than some well-known languages.D)more complex than some well-known languages.4.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A)A language is a means of expressing a particular culture.B)AU languages Can well express their respective cultures.C)American Indian languages are as sophisticated as English.D)Some languages are better than other languages.5.According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur inA)grammar.B)pronunciation.C)vocabulary.D)intonation.词汇:race/n.种族primitive/adj.原始的uncivilized/adj.不开化的, 落后的complexity/n.复杂性, 复杂现象nonsense/n.胡说, 没有根据的话extensive/adj.广泛的vocabulary/n.词汇1.C作者在第二段中认为, 任何人种不管落后与否都有语言. 文中的原句是:There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language…2.A此题的答案来自第三段."There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them run out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek."3.B 作者例举美国印第安人的语言的目的是证明这些语言和一些著名的语言一样先进.原句是:They are certainly different from the languages that most of US are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.4.D D项的说法是错误的, 因为作者在文章中的观点是不同的语言没有好与坏的差别. 原句参照题解3.5.C 词汇是语言中最容易发生变化的部分.文中的原句是:Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.注释及译文:Many things about language are a mystery 【神秘;秘密】and many will always remain【遗留;留下】so.But some things we do know.许多关于语言方面的事情还是一个谜,而且将永远是一个谜。

2012职称英语教材新增阅读文章包括答案(仅供参考)综合Telling Tales about PeopleOne of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people's lives. These stories fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir, and biography.An autobiography is the story of a person's life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person's earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. People as diverse as Benjarmin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies. 1Other writers, such as James Joyce,have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies,but they are very close to it.Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the注释:1. People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies. 就像本杰明?富兰克林和海伦?凯勒一样,各种各样的人们已经写了自传。
2012年职称英语卫生类阅读和完型新增文章(含练习解析)2012年职称英语卫生类新增文章篇目2012年职称英语理工、综合和卫生教材(电子版已经发布,欢迎下载)阅读理解(5篇)第八篇 Eat Healthy (2011年综合类第一篇)第十九篇Prolonging Human Life (2011理工类第十九篇)*第二十四篇Sleep Lets Brain File Memories(2011年理工类第二十八篇;综合类第二十篇)+第三十四篇Who Want to Live Forever? (2011年综合类第三十一篇)+第四十篇 Some People Do Not Taste Salt Like Others(2011年理工类第四十五篇)完形填空(5篇)阅读理解第八篇 Eat Healthy"Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate -club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:" Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently,some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that,after long hours at low-paying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck ,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.词汇:orphan /''?:f?n] / n.孤儿belly /'beli/ n.肚子nutrition / nju:'tri??n / n.营养waistline / 'weistlain / n.腰围paycheck / 'pei't?ek / n.薪金支票注释:1.

第六篇 第六篇 Making Light of1 Sleep
All we have a clock located inside our brains. 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 cloud6 when 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 clock8 were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it's day or night. 词汇: circadian/s3:'keidiən/ adj. 昼夜节奏的,生理节奏的adolescent/ædəu'lesənt/ n.青

B it has a cycle of 24 hours.C it is a cycle also called circadian rhythm. D it can alarm any time during 24 hours. 2. What is implied in the second paragraph? A Young children's biological clock has the same rhythm with that of the teenagers. B People after puberty begin to go to bed earlier due to the change of the biological clock. C Children before puberty tend to fall asleep earlier at night than adolescents. D Teenagers go to bed later than they used to due to the light from the computer screen. 3. In the third paragraph the author wants to tell the reader that A it is natural for teenagers to stay up late and get up late. B staying up late has a bad effect on teenagers' ability to think and learn. C during puberty most teenagers experience a kind of gray cloud. D it is hard for teenagers to get out of bed in the morning. 4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs? A Our biological clock resets itself automatically. B light gets through our eyes and resets our biological clock. C Our internal clock as well as the alarm clock can be reset automatically. D Our internal clock,like the alarm clock,can be reset. 5. According to the last two paragraphs, what did the previous researchers think about the human eye's light-sensing system? A The human eye had two light-sensing systems. B The human eye had one light-sensing system. C The human eye could sense the light of day more quickly than the dark of night. D The human eye could reset our internal clocks in accordance with the alarm clocks. 答案与题解: 1.B 第一段第二句提供了答案。句中的your internal clock 即指a clock located inside our Brains。 2. C 第二段主要内容是告诉读者,过了青春期(puberty),由于生物钟节奏的变化,青少年(adolescents and teenagers)比以前要晚睡几小时。所以C是该段所隐含的内容。 3. B 第三段的最后一句直接给出了答案。 4. C 根据第四和第五段的内容,闹钟和生物钟都可以重新设定时间但生物钟能通过眼睛接 受的日光来自动调节生理节奏。所以A、B和D都是这两段中所述内容,C是正确选择,因为闹钟不能自动重新设定时间。 5.B 问题使用的是过去时,问的是研究者在最新发现(recent discoveries)之前对眼睛
