2020年职称英语综合类补全短文训练题（2）What We Take from and Give to the SeaAs long as we have been on earth,we have used the sea around us.We take from the ocean,and we give to it.We take fishes from the ocean ——millions of kilograms of fish,every year,to feed millions of people.(1)We take minerals from the ocean.One way to get salt is to place seawater in a shallow basin and leave it until it evaporates.(2)Much gold and silver drift dissolved in the waters of the sea,too1.But the sea does not give them up by simple evaporation.Other gifts from the sea arepearls,sponges and seaweed.Pearls become jewelry.(3)Seaweed becomes food of many kinds 一 even candy,and ice cream —aswell as medicine.Believe it or not,fresh water is another gift from the sea.We cannot drink ocean water.(4)But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts are removed.In the future，we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.The sea gives us food,fertilizer,minerals,water,and other gifts.What do we give the sea?Garbage.(5)Huge as it is,the ocean cannot hold all the water that we pour into it.Dumping garbage into the ocean is killing off sea life2.Yet as the world population grows,we may need the sea and its gifts more than ever.We are finally learning that if we destroy our seas，we might also destroy ourselves.Hopefully,it is not too late.注释：Much gold and silver drift dissolved in the waters of the sea,too.还有很多金和银的漂流物溶解在海水里。

Read With Greater SpeedDo you have difficulty reading in class? If so, a special reading program that helps match sounds with letters could speed up your brain.At least one out of every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning to read, even when the students are good at other subjects. (1)Researchers from Yale University, US, studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State. As part of the study, 37 struggling readers received special tutoring.Every day, instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes (音素). (2)By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students' brains.(3) This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read. This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.A year later, the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gore through the special tutoring, and they continued to do well in reading tests (4)However, some researchers still doubt the study.(5)A Many adults are interested in matching sounds with lettersB The students also practiced reading aloud and spellingC The biggest challenge for many of these kids, scientists say, is matching sounds with letters.D Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading program didn't show the same progress.E The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side.F They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more efficient.答案：1. C 2. B 3. E 4. D 5. F。

2020年职称英语综合类补全短文精选练习题(4)Ants as a Barometer of Ecological ChangeAt picnics, ants are pests.But they have their uses.In industries1such as mining,farming and forestry,they can help gauge the health of the environment by just crawling around and being antsy.It has been recognized for decades2 that ants—which are highly sensitive to ecological change—can provide a near-perfect barometer of the state of an ecosystem.Only certain species,for instance,will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees. 1 And still others will move in and take up residence.By looking at which species populate a deforested area, scientists can determine how“stressed”the land is. 2 Ants are used simply because they are so common and comprise so many species.Where mine sites are being restored, for example, some ant species will recolonize the stripped land more quickly than others. 3 Australian mining company Capricorn Coal Management has been successfully using ant surveys for years to determine the rate of recovery of land that it is replanting near its German Creek mine in Queensland.Ant surveys also have been used with mine-site recovery projects in Africa and Brazil,where warm climates encourage dense and diverse ant populations.“We found it worked extremely well there,”says Jonathan Majer,a professor of environmental biology.Yet the surveys are perfectly suited toclimates throughout Asia,he says,because ants are so common throughout the region.As Majer puts it：“That’s the great thing about ants.”3Ant surveys are so highly-regarded as ecological indicators that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environmental impact of mining and tree harvesting4. 4Why not? Because many companies can’t afford the expense or the laboratory time needed to sift results for a comprehensive survey.The cost stems, also, from the scarcity of ant specialists. 5 .词汇：ecological adj.生态学的 barometer n.气压计forestry n.林业 gauge v.测定,测量antsy adj.坐立不安的 ecosystem n.生态系统populate v.居住 deforest v.采伐树林,清除树林recolonize v.再度移民到 sift v.详审scarcity n.缺乏,不足注释：1. industries：行业2. for decades：有几十年。

2020年职称英语综合类考试补全短文习题（2）Worldwide there are estimated to be 120 million landmines （地雷） spread through 62 countries. _____（1） The United Nations is currently involved in 14 mine-clearing operations around the world but it estimates that,at current rate,itwill take 1，000"years to remove all the world's landmines.Landmines are a favorable weapon because they cost so little to produce - about 3 pounds per mine. _____（2）Landmines cause the death or injury of 70 people a day,of whom most are civilians. _____（3） In fact,about half the landmines active today lie in unmarked fields,in countries no longer in conflict.And landmines do not only kill and maim （使残废）；they also hold back economic development. In Afghanistan,for example,where the former Soviet Army laid down an estimated ten million landmines,more than half of the land which could be cultivated for agriculture is useless because it is so heavily mined. According to Eileen Maybin of the Charity Christian Aid,mines also condemn people to relying on overseas aid - aid which is often provided by governments which provided the landmines in the first place："_____（4） Because there are landmines on agricultural land,people are actually dependent on food aid. This is one of the ironies of the situation - that governments are providing money for food aid when,if the mines werecleared,people would be able to feed themselves."Forty-nine countries have so far signed the United Nations Inhumane Weapons Convention,which restricts the manufacture and export of landmines. _____（5） But some signatories （签约国） of the UN Convention,such as theUK,continue to support the manufacture and export of these weapons. The British Government says that it won't support a complete ban because it considers the landmine a legitimate （合法的） military weapon if it is used responsibly.A A further 19 countries,including the USA,France,Germany and Japan,have banned all exports of landmines completely.B However,the cost of locating and removing them is high - between 300 pounds and 700 pounds per mine.C A recent UN gathering of world leaders inVienna,Austria,failed to secure a complete ban on the manufacture and sale of landmines.D And every year,for every 100，000 mines removed,another two million are put down.E Landmines are actually destroying the social fabric and economic independence of countries.F And many of the casualties occur in countries where war has long since ended.[参考答案]1.
