A novel can be on the "best seller" lists with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.This is the principle behind "quiz" or "game" shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars in the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show's producers who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal. Based on his story, a movie under the title "Quiz Show" is on 40 years later.Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliation them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.1.

Not mentioned概括大意The making of a success story1.IKEA is the world‘s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world‘s most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad wa s a natural business man. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business – IKEA.2.IKEA‘s name comes from Kamprads‘initials(I.K.)and the place where he grew up (E andA ). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprad‘s wares included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.3.IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. the furniture was all designed and made by manufact ures near Kamprad‘s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line. Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.4.In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stress with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early 1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.5.In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.6.Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world‘s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-today operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.1. Paragraph 2 ____.2. Paragraph 3 ____.3. Paragraph 4 ____.4. Paragraph 5 ____.A. Ingvar Kamprad – a born businessmanB. Success brought by the introduction of showroomsC. The origin of IKEAD. Specialization in selling furnitureE. Flat packaging – a feature of IKEAF. World-wide expansion of IKEA5. Even when he was only a child, ____.6. ____, and years later became a big company specialized in manufacturing and selling of furniture.7. Customers liked the idea of IKEA‘s showrooms because ____.8. As flat packaging saves money for both IKEA and the customers, ____.A. IKEA began as a small store selling all kinds of cheap things.B. it is highly welcomed by bothC. Ingvar Kamprad showed interest in and talent for doing business.D. he lives happily in retirementE. here they can see and try the furniture they are going to buy.F. Ingvar successfully manages the company all by himself阅读理解The beginning of American literatureAmerican has always been a land of beginnings. After Europeans ― discovered‖ America in the fifteenth century, the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life, an escape from poverty and persecution, a chance to start again. We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope. When, however, does American literature begin?American literature begins with American experiences. Long before the first colonists arrived, before Christopher Columbus, before the Northmen who found America about year 1,000, Native Americans lived here. Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land. Anotherkind of experience, one filled with fear and excitement, found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English. In addition, the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness' tell unforgettable tales of hard end sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.Experience, then, is the key to early American literature. The New World provided a great variety of experiences, and experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers. These writers included John Smith, who spent only two-and-a-half year: on the American, continent. They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd，who thought of themselves as British subjects, never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own. American Indians, explorers,Puritan ministers, frontier wives, plantation owner一they are all the creators of the first American literature.练习：1) What does ―that hope‖in the first paragraph refer to?A)The hope that America would be discovered.B) The hope to start a life.C) The hope to see the mysteries of the New World.D) The hope to find poverty here.2. When did American literature begin?A) Before the American natives lived there.B) When Columbus and other explorers gent reports back home..C) When tire Northmen found America in about 1,000.D) Long before the year 1,000.3. What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?A) About the everyday fife of the native Americans.B) About the arrival of ColumbusC) About the experience of the first European settlersD) About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.4. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers thatA) in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain.B) people with rich life experience became writers.C) there were many writers in the early days of American historyD) early-day experience provided the foundation for American literature.5. According to the last paragraph, which of the following statements is true about America literature?A) Some British writers started American literature.，B) Early-day American literature is a reflection of the boring life then.C) Some British writers had doubts about the future of American literature.D) Some British writers had great confidence in the future of American literature.Feast On Turkey and Good Wishes at ThanksgivingFour weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets.That wasHalloween.‗In a few weeks American houses will be red and green and filled with presents.For Christmas.As if all this isn‘t enough，on Thursday this week，America will enjoy another festival—Thanksgiving.Children will have two days off school，shops will close and houses will be filled with families enjoying mountains of food.Every year, in Gainesville，Florida，all entire class celebrate Thanksgiving together.The class dresses up and puts on plays for their families.After the plays the families share a feast of traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey and pumpkin pie.Dean Foster, an 1 1-year-old boy will take part in this celebration.He said：‗I love Thanksgiving because it means time off school，lots of nice food and a happy family.‘‘His brother Ben，nine，said：‗the best thing about Thanksgiving，is that when it is finished，it is time to start Christmas.‘But behind the food and the large amount of money spent there is another message.On Thursday evening，Dean and Ben‘s family will make a basket and put it on the table as they eat their evening meal.Each of them will write a 1ist of things that they are thankful for and place the paper in the basket.The family will read the pieces of paper and take time to thank God and each other for providing them with comfortable and happy lives.Thanksgiving is a traditional festival that started in 1621，when the first pilgrims arrived in the US to start a new life.After a hard year, they had a big autumn harvest.They held a feast and invited the native American Indians along to thank God for giving them enough food.Many countries celebrate Thanksgiving.They often fall after the fields have been harvested and the crops collected for winter.词汇：turkey n.火鸡pumpkin n.南瓜pilgrim n.朝圣者1.Thanksgiving：感恩节(11月的第四个星期四)2.Halloween ：10月3 1日之夜(据传此时可见到鬼)3.Christmas：圣诞节(12月25日)1.

Students spend much time，learning how to use resource materials，libraries，statistics and computers.Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives.Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.This is America‘s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time：‗‗How Can one prepare today‘s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?‖privileged adj.享有特权的Elite n.精英，精华curricula n.课程reason v.推理1.Wmch of the following best states the goal of American education?A)To teach every learner some practical skills.B)To provide every learner with rich knowledge.C)To give every student the opportunity to fully develop his/her ability.D)To train every student to be a responsible citizen.2.It is implied in the passage thatA)all high-school students take the same courses.B)every high-school student must take some practical ability training courses.C)every public school offers the same academic subjects.D)the subjects every student takes may vary.3.American schools place great emphasis on the learner‘sA)enrichment of knowledge.B)accumulation of facts.C)acquisition of the ability to be creative.D)acquisition of the ability to work with his hands.4.According to the passage，American education meets the needs of all the following EXCEPTA)the brightest students.B)the slow students.C)the students from foreign countries.D)the immigrants.5.Which of the following best states the feature of American education that makes it different from education in other countries?A)The large number of its schools.B)The variety of the courses offered in its schools.C)Its special consideration given to immigrantsD)Its underlying goal to develop every ch ild‘s abilities to the fullest extent.What we take from and give to the seaAs long as we have been on earth, we have used the sea around us.

2010年职称英语综合A模拟试题二(阅读理解1)Y oung consumers often have not established their credit ratings. Many do not have steady incomes. They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to makeloans. Parents or relatives are usually their best source of loans. Of course, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. Y ou mighteven get an interest-free loan. However, a parent or relative who lends should receive the same interest as any other lender.There are disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives. One is that they may not insist on you paying back the money by a certain time. As a result, you might letthe loan drag on. This is especially true if you are not required to pay interest. This is not a way to develop good credit habits.For most consumers, the cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial bank. Banks are a good source of installment loan which may run for 12 months or up to 30. Most banksalso make single payment loans to consumers for short periods—30, 60, or 90 days.The newest type of bank loan is one that a depositor can get simply by writing a check. It is usually called something like “ready credit” or “reserved checking. ” Itworks like this. A depositor is given a limited amount of credit, usually between $500 and $1，000. He or she may write checks up to the amount allowed. Once a check has beenwritten, the amount of the check becomes a loan. Usually no charge is made for interest until the loan is made. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per$100 per day, or just under1 percent a month. Suppose that you used $100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents. If you repaid it in 10 days, the cost would be only 30 cents.The advantage of borrowing from a bank is that banks generally charge lower rates than most other lenders. One reason is that banks have more strict credit requirements thanmost other lenders. A consumer must have a fairly good credit rating to get a bank loan.31 Which of the following is NOT true?A The newest type of bank loan is simple to get.B Bank loans are more difficult to get.C Banks charge higher interest rates.D Banks offer loans to those having a fairly good credit rating.32 One of the disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives is thatA parents or relatives will ask the young people to pay back soon.B it will not help young people to develop a good credit habit.C they always charge interest.D they always charge higher rates than other lenders.33 Most commercial banks offerA installment loans that may run from 12 to 30 months.B installment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days.C single-payment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days.D single-payment loans that may run from 12 to 30 months.34 “Ready credit” or “reserved checking”A is designed to give the depositor a check.B allows the depositor to write a check to pay any amount.C allows the depositor to borrow money from a bank by writing a check.D allows the depositor to charge an interest.35 According to the first paragraph, young peopleA have difficulty borrowing from their parents or relatives.B can't get an interest-free loan from their parents or relatives.C always borrow money from an agency.D usually borrow from their parents or relatives.2010年职称英语综合A模拟试题二(阅读理解2)第二篇Road Trip V acationsIt's summer. In the United States, it's the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips areideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money."Ever since I went to college, I've been traveling around a lot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New Y ork. This summer,Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop andexplore."Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car anddrive."Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400dollars.Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up1 everywhere making longdistance trips easier.Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world.

This does not necessarily meanthat airlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Instead, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would right argue that they have always catered best for the executiveclass passengers. But many airlines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the expense of the regulartraveler. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality.Operating a major airline is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low farepassengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets.It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies were among the companies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to makeflights economically viable, and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling for the available passengers hascreated a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition driving down fares had been to push some airlines into collapse and leave manyothers hovering on the brink.Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return, They have investedmuch time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executive's time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive's attention.The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure.Another development has' been the accent of seating arrangements. Regular travelers have become well versed in the debate about seat pitch--the amount of room between eachpassenger. And first-class passengers are now offered sleeperette seats, which, for long journeys, make it possible to snatch a proper night's sleep. Sleeperettes have proved sopopular that they will soon become universal in the front end of most aircraft.The airlines are also trying to improve things on the ground. Executive lounges are commonplace and intended to make the inevitable waiting between flights a little morebearable. Luggage handling is being improved. Regrettably, there is little the airlines can do to speed up the boring immigration and Customs process, which manages to upset andfrustrate passengers of all classes in every continent.Although it is the airlines' intention to attract executive passengers from their rivals, the airlines themselves would nonetheless like to change one bad habit of this kindof traveler--the expensive habit of booking a flight and then failing to turn up. The practice is particularly widespread in Europe, where businessmen frequently book returnjourneys home one on several flights.41. Which of the following is a bad habit of the executive passengers that frustrates the airlines?A) They do not book their seats in advance.B) They do not sit on the seats they are supposed to take.C) They do not travel on the flight they have booked.D) They do not pay in advance for the seats they book.42. The following are all mentioned as reasons why the airlines are having a hard time EXCEPT thatA) the tourist industry is experiencing an all-time low.B) there is no increase in the number of passengers.C) there are more seats on the planes than needed.D) the competition between airlines is strong.43. The improvements the airlines attempt at include all the following EXCEPTA) making their seats more comfortable.B) providing better food during flights.C) showing more movies during the long flights.D) offering sleeperettes to first-class passengers.44. There is not much the airlines can do when it comes toA) making sure the departures are not delayed.B) the efficient handling of luggage.C) speeding up customs procedure.D) the improvement of the condition of waiting lounges.45. According to the passage, in operating airlines it is essential toA) keep in mind the need of the executives only.B) satisfy the need of the low fare passengers at the expense of the executives.C) try to attract as many passengers as possible by reducing fares.D) cater to the need of passengers sitting at both ends of the jets.。

2010年职称英语试题及答案完型填空部分Obtaining Drinking Water from Air HumidityNot a plant to be seen, the desert ground is too 1 . But the air contains water, and research scientists have found a 2 of obtaining drinking water from air humidity. The system is based completely on renewable energy and is therefore autonomous.Cracks permeate the dried-out desert ground and the landscape bears testimony to the lack' of water. But even here, where there are no lakes, rivers or groundwater, considerable quantities of water are stored in the air. In the Negev desert1 in Israel2, for example, annual average relative air humidity is 64 percent -- in every cubic meter of air there are 11,5 milliliters of water.German research scientists have found a way of converting this air humidity autonomously into drinkable water. "The process we have developed is based exclusively on renewable energy sources such as thermal 3 collectors and photovoltaic cells, which makes this method completely energy-autonomous. It will therefore function in regions 4 there is no electrical infrastructure," says Siegfried Egner, head of the research team. The principle of the 5 is as follows3: hygroscopic brine ~ saline solution which absorbs moisture -- runs down a tower-shaped unit and absorbs water from the air. It is then sucked into a tank a few meters 6 the ground in which a vacuum prevails4. Energy from solar collectors heats up the brine, which is diluted by the water it has 7 .Because of the vacuum, the boiling point of the liquid is 8 than it would be under normal atmospheric pressure. This effect is known from the mountains: as the atmospheric pressure 9 is lower than in the valley, water boils at temperatures 10 below 100oC. The evaporated, non-saline water is condensed and runs down through a completely filled tube in a controlled manner. Thegravity of this water column continuously produces the vacuum and so a vacuum pump is not needed. The reconcentrated5 brine runs down the towersurface 11 to absorb moisture from the air."The concept is suitable for various water 12 . Single-person units and plants 13 water to entire hotels are conceivable," says Egner. Prototypes have been built for both system components— air moisture absorption and vacuum evaporation — and the research scientists have already 14 their interplay on a laboratory scale. In a further step the researchers intend to develop a demonstration 15 .词汇：autonomous adj.独立的 thermal adj.热的 permeate v.遍布 photovoltaic adj.光电的 hygroscopic n.吸湿的infrastructure n.基础设施brine n.盐水 interplay n.相互作用 saline adj.含盐的注释：1.
