Plants and MankindBotany(植物学), the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don’t know what our Stone Age ancestors knew abou t plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrialial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, Medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recogn ized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants. And the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.词汇:botany 植物学 yield 产量,收益detailed 详细的,详尽的 marvel 令人惊奇的事(人),奇迹property 特征;财产,资产 logical 逻辑的,合乎逻辑的pyramid 金字塔 variety 品种,变种;变化,多样化accumulate 积累,积聚 welfare 福利,幸福,康乐intimacy 亲近,亲密注释:1.Stone Age:石器时代2.…a detailed learning of plants and t heir properties must be extremely ancient:……对植物及其特点的详细了解一定非常久远3.dye:染料4.the Amazon:亚马孙河5.Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge,…然而每个人都会无意识中获得大量的植物知识,……come on :偶然遇见;偶然发现。

第十一篇When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach(当我们的视觉服务于我们的胃口)我们的五官不仅仅让我们感知世界,五官感受还受大脑活动的影响。
一项新的研究发现,饥饿的人比刚刚用过餐的人更能清晰地看到与食物相关的词汇。
数十年来,心里学家已经知道我们的心里活动直接影响到我们的视觉。
例如,贫穷的孩子看到的硬币比实际的要大,饥饿的人看到食物的图片更明亮。
法国的尼斯.索菲亚.安提波利斯大学试图调查这一现象。
发生这种现象是在看到事物的当时,还是稍后延迟到大脑高级思维活动已经介入。
雷戴尔招募了42个健康指数正常的学生作为测试者。
在测试当天,每个学生被告诉在中午到达实验室,这时距上一次用餐时间由3~4小时。
等他们到达实验室时被告知实验时间有延迟。
一半学生被告知十分钟后回来,另一半学生给1个小时的实际先去吃午饭。
所以当实验室一半学生是饥饿状态,而另一半学生刚刚吃过饭。
这个实验,就是要求参与者看着电脑屏幕。
屏幕上的80个单词以1/300秒的频率闪动。
由于字体太小,被测试者只能凭感觉捕捉到字形。
1/4的字是与食物相关的。
每闪动一个单词,被测试者要回答字体的亮度并选择看到的是哪类词:一类是与食物相关的,比如蛋糕;一类是中性词,比如船。
由于每个单词闪动的太快以至于被测试者根本看不清楚词是什么。
饥饿的人看到与食物有关的词更明亮,且能更好地辨认出与食物有关的词。
由于每个词的闪动太快,其实那些被试者根本不会确切地看到什么,这就说明:他们只是感觉不同,根本没经过思考。
雷戴尔给出了这样的解释。
雷戴尔说:“这对我来说是一件伟大的事情。
人类可以真正感知到自身的需要或者为之奋斗的目标。
该实验使我了解这样的事实,即我们的大脑是受我们的动机和需要所支配的。
”1第一段提到的新的研究发现了什么?A 饥饿的人看每一个单词都比普通的人更清晰B 饥饿的人一直都在想与食物相关的词C 饥饿的人比饱腹的人对食物相关的词汇更敏感D 饥饿的人不是低思维的人2 为什么在测试的那天测试有个延迟?A 因为饥饿的人需要时间吃饭B 因为雷戴尔想要形成两组测试人群,饥饿的和饱腹的人C 因为中午对任何测试都不是合适的时间D 因为雷戴尔需要时间选取身体合格的测试者3 作者想要告诉我们什么?A 人类的五官不仅仅让我们感知世界B 我们的感知怎么受我们的思维支配C 我们大脑的活动受到我们的动机和需求的支配D 思维保证我们感知功能的正常运行4 实验的结果表明?A 80个单词在屏幕上闪的太快以至于参与者不能真正感知它们B 饥饿的人更善于认识中性词C 吃过饭的人更善于识别与食物相关的词汇D 参与者仅仅接受它们需要或者他们渴望的词汇5 从这篇文章我们能推知?A 42个参与者对于一个严格的实验来说数目太少B 用饥饿与不饥饿的参与者得出的实验结果是不可靠的C 我们的思维过程独立于我们的感知D 人类可以感知他们所需要的东西在大脑思维没有介入的情况下第十二篇Florida Hit by Cold Air Mass(佛罗里达遭受冷空气袭击)2003年1月,美国东部2/3的地区处于强冷空气团的控制下,强冷空气团给佛罗里达的柑橘树造成了威胁,同时也使北部的港口处于被冻结状态。
2014职称英语综合A 阅读理解(34-50篇)34逃亡在宾馆里闲待一个下午是很无聊的。
巡回乐团道具管理组的成员在用美元玩儿游戏,把纸币折成纸飞机的形状然后看谁飞得最远。
因为没有什么事情可以做,我加入了他们并且贏了五局,之后我找了个机会带着我贏的钱退出了游戏。
尽管天色看起来不是很好,我还是决定出去走一走o我向前走到了街道另一边的一个小店里。
与其他的小店不同,它没有吸引眼球的名字和主要经营的项目,取而代之的是普通的霓虹灯,里面则是吸引人的强光。
奇怪的是并没有什么影子映射在窗户上。
我并没有因为这个而停住脚步,我走了进去。
我屏住呼吸,不知道看哪里也不知道从哪里开始看。
一面墙上挂着三个手工缝制的美国壁毯,十分美丽,可能是新做的。
我穿过易拉罐和散落的小玩意儿还有古董家具,在我面前的一面墙上挂着一个崭新的1957年的Straocaster吉他。
一张五十美元的卡插在琴弦上。
我的手抚摸着放唱片的架子,读着标题。
这里还有很多的……“我可以帮助你吗?”她吓了我一跳。
我没有看见在柜台后面的女人。
她看我的方式如此居高临下,这一时让我很紧张像是被一种磁场或是电场紧紧包裹住。
很难避开那个眼神。
但是尽管很不舒服,我还是觉得那种被直视的感觉很美妙,那种感觉对我来说不陌生,对她来说也不陌生oi了愉悦以外她的神情还流露出慈爱和怜悯。
我猜不出她的年龄。
尽管她的眼神充满了友善,她使我想起了我的祖母。
我能感觉到她是一个不喜欢与人争吵的人。
最后我开口说话,“我真的只是看看”,私下里却在好奇有多少东西能够塞进汽车。
她转身离开到后面的屋子,示意我应该跟随其后,但这并非是第一个房间,房间的灯光也让我感觉很特别,灯光来自天花板上的油饤,使一切都笼罩在巨大的阴影之下。

Taking Pictures of the WorldMeet Annie Griffiths Belt, a National Geographic photographer. Belt has worked for National Geographic since 1978, and has taken pictures on almost every continent in the world. In fact, Antarctica is the only continent Belt hasn't seen yet.Belt's photographs are well known for their beauty and high quality. They also reflect very different cultures and regions of the world. Belt has photographed the ancient city of Petra, Jordan , as well as the green landscapes of the Lake District in England. Recently, her pictures appeared in a book about undeveloped natural places in North America.Everywhere that Belt goes, she takes pictures of people. Belt has found ways to connect with people of all ages and nationalities even when she does not speak their language. " The greatest privilege of my job is being allowed into people's lives," she has said. "The camera is like a passport, and I am often overwhelmed by how quickly people welcome me ! "Knowing how to break the ice has helped to make Belt a successful photographer, but experts say that anyone can learn to connect with new people. When people speak the same language, greeting and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other. When people don't speak the same language , a smile is very helpful. Having something in common can also help break the ice. For example , Belt has traveled with her two children , so when she takes pictures of children or their parents, they all have that family connection in common. Even bad weather can help people to connect when they are experiencing it together.Belt has some advice if you are thinking about a career in photography. You can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization that can't afford to hire a professional photographer. You can also take a good, honest look at your best photographs. If you're a real photographer, your photos are good because of your personal and technical skills. Belt also recommends studying and learning from photos taken by professional photographers.Remember, the next time you look as a beautiful photograph, you might be looking at thework of Annie Griffiths Belt. And the next time you meet a new person, don't be afraid to break the ice. the connection you make could be very rewarding.词汇:landscape n. 风景,风景画 rewarding adj. 值得的,有益的privilege n. 特权,优惠报酬的nationality n. 国籍,民族 think about 考虑overwhelm vt. 征服;使受不了使不知所措注释:1. I am often overwhelmed by…我常常被……搞得不知所措。

综合C级:第一篇Telling Tales about People(综合C)One 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 Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies of other 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 author. Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.Biographies are factual accounts of someone else's life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.1. This passage is mostly about _______.A) the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographiesB) famous autobiographiesC) why biography can be difficult to writeD) differences between autobiographies and memoirs2. Helen Keller wrote _______.A) a memoir B) an autobiographyC) a work of fiction D) a biography3. Autobiography writers are not always objective because they _______.A) feel they have to make up details to make their books sellB) constantly compete with biography writersC) want to present themselves in a good lightD) have trouble remembering the good times4. The writer introduces each category in the passage by _______.A) defining itB) giving an exampleC) explaining why it is hard to writeD) telling when people first began writing it5. Diverse means _______.A) able to swim in deep water B) similar or alikeC) varied or different D) enjoying poetry第一篇讲述关于人们的故事最普遍的非小说类文学作品类型之一就是一些描述人们生活的故事,并且很多人喜欢阅读这类作品。

That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-em ployed photographers when I was a photo editor at U.S. News. Like many in the mainstream press , I wanted to separate the world of photographers into "them", who trade in pictures of bodies or ru n after famous people like Princess Diana, and "us", the serious news people. But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable.Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photographers to cover other people's difficultlife situations. I justified marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of the reader's right to know. I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behin d police lines. And I wasn't alone. In any American town, after a car crash or some other horrible i ncident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries. But you are likely to see local newspaper and tele vision photographers on the scene –and fast…How can we justify doing this? Journalists are taught to separate, doing the job from worrying abo ut the consequences of publishing what they record. Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news-busi ness saying: Leave your conscience in the office, A victim may lie bleeding, unconscious, or dead. Your job is to record the image (图象). You're a photographer, not an emergency medical worker. You put away your feelings and d ocument the scene.But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors. In the first m inutes and hours after a disaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures. They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and deathis usually the subject. Often, an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines. The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through b idding contests.I worked on all those stories and many like them. When they happen, you move quickly: buying, d ealing, trying to beat the agencies to the pictures.Now, many people believe journalists are the hypocrites(伪君子)who need to be brought down, and it's our pictures that most anger others. Readers may not believ e, as we do, that there is a distinction between clear-minded "us" and mean-spirited "them". In too many cases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove our readers right.16. The writer never got an offer for a photograph of a dead person.A. RightB. WrongC.

Financial RisksSeveral types of financial risk are encountered in international marketing ; the major problems include commercial, political, and foreign exchange risk.(1) They include solvency, default, or refusal to pay bills. The major risk, however, is competition which can only be dealt with through consistently effective management and marketing.(2) Such risk is encountered when a controversy arises about the quality of goods delivered, a dispute over contract terms, or any other disagreement over which payment is withheld. One company,for example,shipped several hundred tons of dehydrated potatoes to a distributor in Germany. (3) The alternatives for the exporter were reducing the price, reselling the potatoes, or shipping them home again, each involving considerable cost.Political risk relates to2 the problems of war or revolution, currency inconvertibility3,expropriation or expulsion, and restriction or cancellation of import licenses. (4) Management information systems and— effective decision-making processes are the best defenses against political risk. As many companies have discovered, sometimes there is no way to avoid political risk4,so marketers must be prepared to assume them or give up doing business in a particular market.Exchange-rate fluctuations inevitably cause problems, but for many years,most firms could take protective action to minimize their unfavorable effects5. (5) International Business Machine Corporation, for example, reported that exchange losses resulted in a dramatic 21.6 percent drop in their earnings in the third quarter of 1981. Before rates were permitted to float,devaluations of major currencies were infrequent and usually could be anticipated, but exchange-rate fluctuations in the float system are daily affairs.词汇:solvency 偿付能力contract terms 合同条款 dehydrated potato 脱水土豆expropriation 剥夺……所有权;没收、征用expulsion .逐出,开除;呼出, 排出cancellation 取消,注销;作废,废除import license 进口许可证exchange-rate fluctuation 汇率率波动floating exchange rate 浮动汇率International Business Machine Corporation (美国)国际商用机器公司注释:1.... encountered in day-to-day business. ??…?在日常的商务活动中遇到的。

第十六篇Japanese Drilling into Core of EarthIn what resembles a journey to the center of the Earth, Japanese scientists have launched the world’s first attempt to bore a hole into the red-hot core of a volcano and unlock the secrets of deadly eruption.A 50-meter-high oil-rig-like derrick perched on the scrubby slopes of Japan’s Mount Unzen will begin drilling through the volcano’s crust next week in a bid1 to sample the magma bubbling below2.The aim is to study how the liquefied rock causes menacing gas buildup, said team leader Setsuya Nakata, of the University of Tokyo’s Earthquake Research Institute.“Gassing is important because it controls the explosivity of eruptions,” Nakata said. “The results can be expanded to anti-disaster research.”Mount Unzen , a wind-swept 1.486-meter dome on the southern island of Kyushu, is a perfect model. It erupted in 1991, showering avalanches of hot rocks over a nearby town, killing 43 people and leaving nearly 2,300 homeless. Another 11.000 people were evacuated from the area until 1995, when the volcano had stabilized.The results are particularly important to a nation like Japan, where the meteorological agency monitors 20 dangerous peaks. Perhaps Japan’s most famous volcano is snowcapped Mount Fuji, which last er upted in 1707 and sprinkled Tokyo with ash.The drilling on Mount Unzen will begin very soon from an altitude of 850 meters on its northwest slope. Scientists3 hope to tap a magma vent around sea level by August and extract a 200-meter-long core sample by summer 2004.Boring into the glowing magma at that level would normally be impossible, because of its fiery 700 degree Celsius heat. Thus, a slurry of water will be pumped into the drill shaft to cool the magma and allow the drill head to cut through.4Nakata said there is no danger of triggering another eruption.词汇: rig/ri^ /n.钻探平台bubble / 5bQbl/v.冒气,沸腾derrick / 5derik/n.钻塔liquefy /5likwifai/v.(使)液化perch / pE:tF/v.位于menace /5menEs/v.威胁scrubby / 5skrQbi/adj.长满矮树丛的dome /dEum/n.圆顶explosivity /[iks5plEusiviti/n.爆炸性meteorological /7mi:tjErE5lCdVikEl /adj.气象的avalanche / 5AvE7lB:nF/n.雪崩vent /vent/n.出口evacuate /i5vAkjueit/v.疏散sprinkle /5spriNkl /v.撒stabilize /5steIbIlaIz/v.稳定magma /5mA^mE /n.岩浆crust /krQst/n.地壳slurry /slurry/n.泥浆unlock / 5Qn5lCk/v.解开shaft /FB:ft/n.井注释:1. in a bid: 企图,努力a在in a bid之后,可接动词不定式,如: The two sides negotiated again and again ina bid to find a solution. 双方进行一次又一次的谈判,努力寻求一个解决方案。

According to the passage, the study of the Mount Unzen volcano may benefit Japan in all the following aspects EXCEPTA finding causes of volcano eruptions.B helping to launch anti-disaster research.C looking into the connection between liquified rocks and gas buildup.D predicting volcano eruptions.3.Why is this research project so important to Japan?A. Because Japan has many living volcanos. B Because Japan wants to turn Mount Fuji to a dead volcano. C Because volcano gas could be a source of energy. D Because Japan is testing a new way of drilling into the earth.4. The drilling site on Mount Unzen is A around the sea level. B on the northeast slope of the mountain. C about half way up the mountain. D as high as 1,486 meters.5. The title of this passage Japanese Drilling into Core of Earth actually means that they A drill a hole into the core of a volcano. B bore into the rocks near the volcanic vent. C conduct an imagery journey to the core of a volcano.D regard magma as the core of Earth.答案与题解:1. B答案的根据在第五段。
2. D 选项A是这个研究项目的主要宗旨(见第一段的“ unlock the secrets of deadly eruption”),选项B是这个研究项目的后续研究项目(见第四段的“ The result s can be expanded to anti-disaster research.”)。
选项C 是这个研究项目的具体目标(见第三段的第一句)。
