A Health Profile态度，姿态剖面, 侧面, 外形(C级)
A health profile is a portrait of all of the factors that influence your health. To draw获得your health profile, you will need to know what diseases run in your family, what health hazards冒险, 危险, 冒险you may be exposed to at work, how your daily diet compares to the recommended standards1, how much time per week you spend exercising and what type of exercise you engage in , how stressful your work and family environments are, what kinds of illnesses you get regularly, and whether or not you have any one of a number of addictions. To complete this portrait 类型, 模型, 标本, you(r) should have a checkup to determine how your blood, heart, and lungs are functioning. This checkup will serve as a baseline, to which you can then compare later tests.
Once this profile is thoroughly drawn, you can begin to think about setting health priorities优先, 重点; 优先权based on your particular portrait. For example, if you drink. Two martinis every evening, have a high-stress job, are overweight, smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, and use marijuana occasionally on weekends, you should quit smoking first, followed by losing the excess weight, reducing the stress of your job, giving up your marihuana habit, and then finally giving some thought to those martinis马提尼酒if you want to prevent first cancer, and then heart disease. Even for the youthful working person who has never been sick a day in his life, who is in excellent health, a good look at all health habits and at work and home environments may suggest changes that will benefit him in the future.

Making Yourself a Good Record(C级)
If you are an American and you think you might need to borrow money someday, the best thing to do is start early.
That‘s because just at many employers want to hire only peop le with experience, banks and other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those without a proven track
record1 paying back, on time, the money they have borrowed.
But if you need experience just to get a start, how do you get that stat in the first place?
With a little help from your parents usually, while you are still financially dependent on them. It is easy to get a credit card or student loan when you are in college, because banks figure your parents will bail you out if you fail to pay.
So just a s students take on interships to build up their resumes, one‘s university time can be a good time to work on another important personal record: the credit report .
Credit reports are a summary of one‘s personal credit history, gathered by a credit reporting agency, or CRA.
Banks and companies—including hospitals, landlords and insurance companies —regularly report to the three main CR As in the US on how their customers are doing at paying back the money they owe .
Anyone with a ―legitimate business need‖ has the right to order individuals‘ reports from the CRAs. Potential creditors usually compile the information in the reports into a credit ―score‖, ranking the level of creditworthiness. Lack of experience in borrowing in addition to a bad record of doing so, can result in a low score2.
Even if you are not considering taking out a loan for such a large purchase as a home or car, your credit report can be important to getting through life. Landlords often ask for the reports to judge whether a person can be trusted to pay the rent. Credit checks are necessary for getting a credit card, even for purchasing a mobile phone calling plan.
People can obtain a copy of their own credit report, usually at a cost of around US$8-9. Some consumer organizations recommend doing this once a year to allow one to catch any mistakes that have slipped into the record or, even worse, to find out whether any fraud has taken place. Though the system is controlled by laws meant to protect people‘s privacy, it isn‘t fool-proof: Sometimes people take out bad loans in others‘ names, ruining their records.
In a society addicted to credit, that can be a disaster.

Pretty Good(C级)
When Spanish football club Barcelona paid US$35 million for Ronaldinho last summer, they weren‘t buying a pretty face. ―I am ugly,‖ admits the Brazilian superstar. ―But everyone has got a different kind of beauty. What I do have is charm.‖Indeed he has. His buck teeth1, flowing hair2, big smile, and of course his amazing skills are always eye-catching3 on the pitch. The 23-year-old striker scored two goals in a 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna on March 1. It was Barcelona‘s sixth win in a row and, thanks to their Brazilian‘s 10-goal contribution, what looked like a poor season could now end a success.
Ronaldinho—full name Ronaldo De Assis Moreira—is one of many South Americans who learned their skills playing in the backstreets before showing them off4 on the world stage.
Great things were expected when Gremio signed签名(于), 署名(于)～, 签署him as a seven-year-old5, and he soon became friends with Ronaldo, who was then the other young star of Brazilian football. It was Ronaldo who first called him Ronaldinho, which means Little Ronaldo, and the name stuck6. 卡住的；不能动弹的He first played for his country in 1999 but it was at the 2002 World Cup where he showed his real worth, scoring an unbelievable free-kick in Brazil‘s quarter-final victory over England.
―I have never failed to deliver in big matches,‖ Ronaldinho says. ―My game is based on improvisation即席创作. Often a forward does not have the time to decide whether to shoot or pass. It is instinct that gives out the orders.‖
While he may not have David Beckham‘s good looks, Ronaldinho has a playboy reputation名誉, 名声off the pitch投，投掷，抛：投掷. At former club Paris Saint Germain, which sold him to Barcelona, he broke club rules by going out and enjoying the city‘s nightlife.7
―Without doubt, Ronaldinho is the most difficult player I have ever come across,‖ says former PSG coach Luis Ferdandez. ―The main problem for any coach is that one player without discipline can hurt the whole team.‖
But Ronaldinho doesn‘t think he has done anything wrong. ―I am just a young person who enjoys life ,‖ he says.

Where Have All Our Visitors Gone? (C级)
Sixty years ago, a man named Kenneth Arnold saw something that people are
still seeing today -something that changed popular culture for ever.
Flying his plane over mountains in the US state of Washington, he saw a line of strange objects, either crescent -shaped or disc-like, flying with the motion of a saucer skimming on water.
The media soon picked up on the story - the Flying Saucers were here1! Was the earth being visited by creatures from another planet? Soon, so many sightings were made that the US military began to investigate It called these strange objects UFO2s – Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are known 5 today.
Military investigations found no evidence of visitors from outer space. But that did not stop the true believers The military were covering up, they said. Or maybe it was because the travelers from space were of such superior intelligence that they could hide from the most sophisticated military analysts.
People have always seen strange lights in the sky. In the past these were explained in religious ways. In a world where religion was less influential and science fiction was popular, signs from god were replaced by visitors from other planets.
The date of the first UFO signings was also significant. In 1947, World War II had just ended and the cold war was just beginning. Humanity seemed locked in endless conflicts. Like generations before them, people looked to the skies for help. But instead of seeking God, they looked for help from super-intelligent aliens with advanced technology. Belief in UFOs became the first religion of science.
However, even people who believe in UFOs are not quite sure why they visit the earth. The universe is a big place and it is reasonable to assume that there is life somewhere out there.It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments performed on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?
第五篇：
A Country‘s Standard of Living(C级)
The ―standard of living‖ of any country means the average person‘s share of the goods and services the country produces. A country‘s standard of living, therefore , depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. ―Wealth‖ in this sense is
not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: ―goods‖ such as food and clothing, and ―services‖ such as transport and ―entertainment‖1.
A country‘s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country‘s natural resources. Some regions of the world are well su pplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess none of them.
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well-off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external was, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well favoured by nature but less well ordered2.
A country‘s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. or example , Britain‘s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. A country‘s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.

Gun Rights in the US (C级)
Immediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn the dead. The president and the state governor both hurried there to share the grief . But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.
Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country where gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US
is one of the few countries that seems unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.
In countries like Britain and Canada, the government adopted stricter gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held
hostage by the gun lobby and the electoral system.
The powerful National Rifle Association, the major supporter of gun rights
in the US, is too strong for any party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun controls anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign for gun control or win power, not both ; they prefer power.
According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm incidents accounted for nine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So, although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many don‘t want to give up their arms they keep to protest themselves.
Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said. ―If one professor in Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon they might have been able to stop all this.‖ In his opinion, the massacre is an argument for more people to carry weapons, not fewer.
But at the root of Americans‘ clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK‘s Guardian newspaper.
One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American‘s responsibility to have a gun.
―Each person,‖he said, ―should not rely solely on the government for protection.‖

Water(C级)
From the beginning, water has furnished man with a source of food and a highway to travel upon. The first civilizations arose where Water was a dominant element in the environment, a challenge to man‘s ingenuity. The Egyptians invented the 365-day calendar in response to the Nile‘s annual flooding. The Bab ylonians, who were among the most famous law-makers in ancient times, invented laws regulating water usage. Water inspired the Chinese to build a 1,000- mile canal, a complex system which, after nearly 2,500 years, remains still practically in use and still commands the astonishment of engineers. But the ancients never found complete solutions to their water problems. The Yellow River is also known as ―China‘s Sorrow‖; it is so unpredictable and dangerous that in a single flood it has caused a
million deaths . Floods slowed the great civilization of the Indus River Valley, and inadequate drainage ruined much of its land. Today water dominates man as it always has done. Its presence continues to govern the location of his homes and cities; its violent variability can kill man or his herds or his crops; its routes links him to his fellows; its immense value may add to already dangerous political conflicts. There are many examples of this in our own time.

An Early Form of Jazz Music(C级)
Music comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent music of its own. No one knows exactly when was invented or by whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America's contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free in form1. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, and emotions of the people. In the' 1920s jazz sounded like America. And so it does today. The origins of the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours. When a Negro died his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the procession . On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their number2, but the living were glad to be alive . The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes played at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.

Freezing to Death for Beauty(C级)
People in Beijing wear a lot of clothing during winter to fend off the cold. In the United States, however, people wear less, partly because the car is the primary mode of transportation. Cars take them straight to their workplaces, which are heated well. The American diet is full of calories, so their bodies can afford burn heat more quickly.
Fewer layers of clothing give people the opportunity to stay fashionable Lots of Yale girls wear skirts even when it‘s 10 degrees Centigrade outside. Some of them at least wear boots, tights, and leg-warmers. Some, however, really just go for the look at the risk of health. These girls have nothing to prevent their legs against the wind, and no socks to protect their feet. A mini skirt and a pair of stilettos are all that they wear.
Typically, the ones pursuing fashion are skinny , with little body fat. Just by the nature of their bodies, they are already at a disadvantage compared with normal people in cold weather. I have always wondered, whenever I pass these girls, how they manage to refrain from shivering and just smile like spring had arrived.
And then there are the guys. The girls can be said to sacrifice health for beauty. But why do guys wear so little? It is not like, once they shed some layers, they suddenly become better-looking. They are not exactly being fashionable when they only wear sporty shorts and shower slippers in the midst of winter. It‘s not cute.
Of course, people have the freedom to look whatever way they want. I am just surprised that, given the vast difference between winter and summer temperatures in Connecticut, they can still look like they are partying on the beach in the middle of February.

The Ideal Husband(C级)
Science now might be able to explain women's fascination with Brad Pitt's face and George Clooney's eyes. Women seem to judge potential mate by how masculine their features are, new research shows. Men with square jaws and well-defined brow ridges1are seen as good short-term partners, while those with more feminine traits such as a rounder face and fuller lips are perceived as better long-term mates.
In the study by Daniel Kruger at the US's University of Michigan, 854 subjects viewed a series of male head shots that had been digitally changed to exaggerate or minimize masculine.traits2They then answered questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.
Most participants said that those with more masculine features were likely to be
risky, competitive, and more apt to fight, challenge bosses, cheat on spouses and put less effort into parenting. Those with more feminine faces were seen as good parents and husbands, hard workers and emotionally supportive mates.
But, despite all the negative characteristics, when asked who they would choose for a short-term relationship, women selected the more masculine looking men. Brad and George, both chiseled jaws and well-defined brows, then would be good for a brief romance, not for something longer.
The study was published in the December issue of the US journal Personal Relationships.
Kruger said that from an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense. The key is testosterone, the hormone responsible for the development of masculine facial features and other sexual characteristics. It has been found to affect the body's ability to fight disease: men with high levels of the hormone are typically strong and healthy- traits women want to pass on to their children.
However, increased testosterone has also been linked to cheating and violence in relationships. So, these men might produce high quality offspring, but they don't always make great parents or faithful mates, Kruger says.
The scientific community3 have shown skepticism toward physiognomy, which links facial characteristics to certain behavioral traits. But Kruger argues that the research is a valuable tool for understanding mating strategies. And, of course, for explaining why Tony Leung and Takeshi Kanesshiro have millions of female fans. It might have to do with their genes. Or something to do with ours.

New Ideas(B级)
Iceland‘s President Olafur Grimsson is trying to drive carbon dioxide underground to reduce its release into air.
Over the next two years, a team of scientists will try to inject carbon dioxide-charged water into the rock underground. Scientist theory says this should work. The CO will react with the rock to form a stable mineral that remains in the rock for millions of years.
If the experiment succeeds, Iceland could give the world a new way to reduce CO emissions.
Sigurdur Gislason, a university professor in Iceland, says his country has an advantage over other countries: ―We have enormous amounts of clean energy and a small society. You can do experiments here that you can‘t do anywhere else.‖In an attempt to cut back on the use of air conditioners during summer, the Japanese government in 2005 opened a campaign to keep office temperatures at 28°C degrees in summer. Men were also encouraged to change business suits for casual wear. In other words, no more ties.
―The move is meant to show the government‘s resolve to achieve Japan‘s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 6 percent,‖said Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda. The campaign has cut an estimated 79,000 tons of carbon dioxide gas emissions each year.
As the country‘s 2005 Energy Policy Act comes into force this year, more Americans will be encouraged to use environment-friendly cars and energy sources.
According to the new law, those who buy hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius can earn tax credits, or rebates, of up to $2,600 a year. Homemakers can also save when they renovate, claiming tax rebates worth up to $500 simply by fitting their homes with energy-saving insulation. If they invest in solar water heating, the payoff at tax time is equal to 30 percent of the appliance‘s cost or a maximum of $2,000.

How a Terrible Battle helped to Change Europe(B级) Ninety years ago on a sunny morning in Northern France, something happened that changed Britain and Europe for ever. At half past seven on the morning of July 1, 1916, whistles blew and thousands of British soldiers left their positions to attack their German enemies. By the end of the day, 20,000 of them were dead, and another 30,000 wounded or missing. The Battle of the Somme, as it is called, lasted for six months1. When it ended, 125,000 British soldiers were dead. They had gained five kilometers of ground.
This was one of a series of great battles during the WWI. The attack on the Somme was staged to relieve pressure on the French, who were engaged in a great battle of their own at a place called Verdun. By the time the battle ended, over a million French and German troops had been killed.
About 17 million people were killed in WWI. There have been wars with greater
numbers of dead. But there has never been one where most of the dead were concentrated in such a small area. On the Somme battlefield, two men died for every meter of space.
Local farmers working in the land still find the bodies of those who died in that battle. The dead of all nations were buried in a series of giant graveyards along the line of the border between France and Belgium. Relatives and descendants of those who died still visit these graveyards today. What the French call the "tourism of death" makes an important contribution to the local economy.
It took a second great conflict before Europe was to turn against war itself. Twenty-eight years after the Somme battle, a liberating army of British. American and Canadian troops took back France from another German invasion. More than 500,000 people were killed. New graveyards were built.
Two great conflicts across two generations helped to change the European mind about war. Germany, once the most warlike country in Europe, is now probably more in favor of peace than any other. One major cause of war in Europe was rivalry between France and Germany. The European Union was specifically formed to end that rivalry
According to US commentator William Pfaff, "Europeans are interested in a slow development of civilized and tolerant international relations, compromising on problems
while avoiding catastrophes along the way. They have themselves only recently recovered
from the catastrophes of the WWI and WWII, when tens of millions of people were destroyed. They don't want more "
The last British veteran of the Somme battle died in 2005, aged 108. And the WWI is passing out of memory and into history2. But for anyone who wants to understand how Europeans think, it is still important to know a little about the terrible events of July 1, 1916.
第十三篇：
Racial Prejudice(A级)
In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences; and this is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries
where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all . We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would not have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.

Improve Computer-research Skills(A级)
Like many college students, Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies, surf the Internet and text-message friends.
He‘s part of ―Generation M‖–those born after 1985 who grew up connected to everything from video game to cellphones.
―For us, it‘s everyday life,‖said Juarez, 18, a freshman at California State University at Sacramento (CSUS).
However , educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they‘re accessing.
―They‘re geeky, but they don‘t know what to do with their geekdom,‖ said Barbara O‘Connor, a Sacramento State communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwide effort to improve students‘ computer-research skills.
In a recent nationwide test to measure their technological ―literacy‖–their ability to use the Internet to complete class assignments—only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity, author and timeliness. Only 35 per cent could correctly narrow an overly broad Internet search.
About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, administered to 6,300 college students across the country.
The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is a web-based scavenger hunt (拾荒游戏)with simulated Internet search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information.
―They‘re very good at typing in and using the Internet, but don‘t always understand what they get back,‖ said Linda Goff, head of instructional services for the CSUS library.
―You see an open search box, you type in a few words and you push the button,‖said Goff, who is involved in the testing.
―They take at face value whatever shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff.‖Educators say that these sloppy research skills are troubling.
―We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way we look at math and English as a foundational skill,‖ said Lorie Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for academic programmes in the CSU system.
Measuring how well students can ―sort the good from the bad‖ on the Internet has become a higher priority for CSU, Roth said.
CSU is considering adding a mandatory assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s.
Students in freshman seminars at Sacramento State were asked to take the test early in the semester and were expected to finish another round this week to measure their improvement.

The Greatest Mystery of Whales(A级)
The whale is a mammal—warm-blooded, air-breathing, giving birth to its young alive1, sucking them—and, like all mammals, originated on land. There are many signs of this. Its from flippers, used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.
Immense strength is built into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale‘s body is one gigantic muscle. The blue whale‘s pulling strength has been estimated at 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have towed a whaling vessel for seven hours at the rate of eight knots.
An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous example of this was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sunk off the coast of South America early in the last century. More recently, steel ships have had their plates buckled2in the same way. Sperm whales were known to seize the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush them.
The greatest mystery of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale can dive to the bottom for his favourite food, the octopus. In that search he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the square inch. Doing so he will remain submerged as long as one hour. Two feats are involved in this: storing up enough oxygen(all whales are air-breathed) and withstanding the great change in pressure. Just how he does it scientists have not determined. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special system of blood vessels, rather than just held3 in the lungs. And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of compensating mechanism that automatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But since you can‘t bring a live whale4 into the laboratory for study, no one knows just how these things work.

Making Yourself a Good Record(C级)
If you are an American and you think you might need to borrow money someday, the best thing to do is start early.
That‘s because just at many employers want to hire only people with experience, banks and other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those ____1____ a proven track record1 paying back, ____2____ time, the money they have borrowed.
But if you need experience just to get a start, how do you get that stat in the first place?
With a little help from your parents usually, while you are still financially dependent ___3___ them. It is easy to get a credit card or student loan when you are in college, because banks figure your parents will bail you out if you fail to pay.
So just as students take on interships to buil d up their resumes, one‘s university time can be a good time to work on another important personal record: the credit ______4___.
Credit reports are a ______5____ of one‘s personal credit history, gathered by a credit reporting agency, or CRA.
Banks and companies—_____6____ hospitals, landlords and insurance companies—regularly report to the three main CRAs in the US _____7____ how their customers are doing at paying back the money they _____8____.

职称英语核心词汇汇总
职称英语考试备考技巧 一、词汇： 需要考生在最后阶段练习查字典，建议一天练习查60对，而且一个词汇题要反、正查，同时也要进行职称考试中常考词汇的记忆，这样可以在考试时提高速度，节省时间。 词汇题一般情况下仅凭字典一般也能做对，因此考生对自己不认识、不熟悉或没有绝对把握的题一定要通过字典来确认，从而确保词汇题100%的正确率。特别提醒考生，考试时要带上一本带有同义词的词典。且词典不能含有职称、考试等字样，更不能带电子词典。 二、阅读判断： 答题时需掌握一条原则，就是在文章中有明确提出的才能确定为对。题目中若出现must、only、all、always等时，答案一般不会是对的。 除上面的原则外，一般根据下列原则和规律也可以确定正确答案。选择A、B或C的三种情况： 选A的情况：如果某题干与原文信息完全一致或基本一致 选B的情况：如果某题干与原文信息完全相反 选C的情况：如果某题干部分或局部信息在原文中未提到 三、概括大意和完成句子： 概括大意要先看选项，寻找关键词，确定所考段落。完成句子则要根据所给的短句进行选择，比较好的方法是找同类动词。 同时读每段话时，要抓住该段话的主题句和核心词汇，正确答案常常是主题句的改写。读每段话时，并不是该段话全要仔细阅读。这样，既浪费时间，也不容易抓住重点。应该抓住该段话的主题句。 四、阅读理解： 首先要重点掌握教材上的阅读理解的重点文章的背诵，来抓住出自教材上的分数，这是顺利通过考试很关键的一步。
同时充分利用老师在课上讲的解题技巧，如大标题做题法、红花绿叶原则、顺序出题原则、关键词回归定位法通过做模拟试题来进行解题技巧的演练和应用。 在做题时要注意：搞清主旨题、细节题、推理题、逻辑关系题、观点态度题。注意标题、首尾段、首尾句、逻辑关系处、细节处等出题点；在阅读时见到日期、数量等要先做好标记，这样有重点有理有节的解题，才有可能取得满意的成绩。 五、补全短文： 要先看标题定文体，再看选项，观察选项时应注意抓主干，猜大意，弄清选项大意是表示定义、因果、例子还是措施；不要放过代词、专用名字、连接词、数字等特征词；然后回头再去看课文，明确1-5的位置。 解每道题时只需要阅读该题所在段落，不需要阅读其他段落。往往通过阅读该题目的前后句就能够确定答案，在考试时，应该注意利用以下前后句子存在的关系来做题： (1)利用转折关系 (2)利用归纳总结关系 (3)利用总分关系 (4)利用并列关系 六、完形填空： (1)掌握教材上的文章内容，尤其是2013年新增文章。把这些文章在考前一个月内，争取背到“滚瓜烂熟”，这样，就算考试时怎样变化都可以应付。 (2)语法知识的总结和固定搭配、词组的记忆。这样在做题时，阅读整篇文章，考生才能从头判断每个空所缺的词的语言形式，如词类、时态、语态，并判断该词应具有的符合文章上下文的词义，最后从给出的四个选项中，选出在语法与词义上均与原文相符合的一个。除掌握以上解题技巧外，考生最好配合在模拟真实的考试时间进行模拟试题的演练，这样不但可以直接掌握复习效果，还可以迅速找到自己的薄弱环节，通过单项训练，逐一提高成绩。最后，提醒考生，在抓紧时间复习的同时要放松心情，以轻松的心态迎接考试。预祝顺利通过考试！ 全国职称英语考试必过秘籍（免背单词+免读全文版） 1、试题概况及答题顺序 1.1、必杀技：见下表中“答题顺序”：
