Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: Read the following passage and do the multiple choice questions. (2 marks each, 10 marks altogether) In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview. A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possibleconcerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items asthe location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans forexpansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major corporations is available inreference books and periodicals.After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview.The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews,appropriate dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or lightblue shirt and conservative tie. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate.Both men and women should have neat, conservative length hair.Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal tastes, many personnel directors forminitial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felthimself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel managerconsidered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for thisparticular position.1. What ’s the purpose of this passage?(A ) To inform the candidates of the recent interview答题 不准超过此线(B ) To give some advice to an employer. (C ) To inform the candidates of how to prepare for an interview (D ) To persuade the candidates to accept his advice 2. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage ? . (A )The applicant should know the type of work and his career expectation (B )The applicant should know as much as possible about the company (C )The applicant should have the reasons a particular company has to employ him(D )The applicant should not pay too much attention to his appearance 3. According to the passage, before the interview, the applicant can obtain some information about the company he wants to work for _______. (A )on the internet (B )in reference books and periodicals (C )in the library (D )from the employees of the company business and philosophy 4. What kind of information about the company, as the author suggests, should the candidate obtain ______ ? (A )the financial status (B )company philosophy (C )plans for expansion, (D )all of the above 5. From the last two paragraphs we can infer that . (A )first impression is of importance(B )public relations are important in the interview(C )self confidence is of great importance(D )personal taste is quite important in the interviewSection B Directions: Decide whether the statements are 'true' or 'false' based on the text, writeT for ‘true’ and F for ‘false’. (2 marks for each, 10 marks altogether)Here are a few examples of business customs in foreign lands that one should be cognizant of:In Brazil, conversations can become very animated and involve physical contact and raisedvoices. Yet trying to dominate the conversation will meet with disapproval.In China, it's considered impolite to reply negatively. Answers like "we should discuss thisfurther at another time" or "perhaps" are much better than a simple "no". The details canbe worked out later. When giving gifts, avoid using white or green wrapping paper as thosecolors are considered to be inauspicious.In Germany, it's customary to wait to be introduced to someone new by a third party. Peopleare uncomfortable when approached by complete strangers. 答题 不准超过此线 地 区 姓 名单 位名 称 准 考证 号When dining with co-workers in Japan, always let the host pay for the meal. Be sure to neverleave your chopsticks placed vertically in a bowl of rice as this is only done at funerals.The Irish are enthusiastic conversationalists who often indulge in criticism of themselvesas a people and Ireland as a country. If you're involved in this type of conversation, neveragree with what is being said or you'll find that both yourself and your country will beroundly abused.Even in "close" countries like Canada, there are some differences in the way business peopleinteract. Luckily there are many training programs available to familiarize businesstravelers and career people with the ins and outs of doing business in the internationalarena.1. [ ] In Brazil, people usually talk animatedly, but they usually keep space distance with eachother.2. [ ] In China, people usually give a negative answer indirectly instead of the direct “No”.3. [ ] In Germany, it’s better not to bother to speak to a stranger if no one introduces himto you.4. [ ] Irish people tend to criticize their own country in conversation because they bear hatredto their country.5. [ ]The purpose of this article is probably to tell us that we should be aware of the differentways business people interact in different cultures and countries.III. TranslationDirections: Translate the following passage into Chinese. (4 marks each, 20 marks altogether)1. As you know, we value our long-established relationship with your corporation, and look forward to increasingbusiness in the coming years.2. Any information you can send us about the city itself and the surrounding countryside, including places ofhistorical interest, will be very much appreciated.3. We are offering you goods of the very highest quality on unusually generous terms and would welcome theopportunity to serve you.4. The meanings we exchange by speaking and by writing are not given in the words and sentences along but are also constructed partly out of what our listeners and our readers interpret them to mean.5. The fact remains that women are now free to enter any career that attracts them; the situation has improved, and the tide is not likely to turn back. IV.

Time to Stop Traveling by AirTwenty-five years ago a young British man called Mark Ellingham decided that he wanted a change of scenery. So he went to Australia, stopping off in many countries beween. Healso decided to write about the experience and produced a guide for other travelers making similar journeys.In 1970, British airports were used by 32 million people. In 2004, the figure was 216 million. In 2030, according to government forecasts, it will be around 500 million. It’s a growth driven by the emergence of low cost airlines, offering access to all parts of the world for less than £100.This has made ahuge contribution to global warming. One return flight from Britain to the US produces the same carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)as a year’s motoring (驾车). A return flight to Australia equals the emissions (排放)of three average cars for a year. And the pollution is released at a height where its effect on climate change is more than double that on the ground.Mark Ellingham built his business on helping people travel. Now he wants to help people stop –at least by air.He is calling fora £100 green tax on all flights to Europe and Africa, and £250 on flights to the rest of the world. He also wants investment to create a low-carbon economy,as well as a halt to airport expansion.Mark Ellingham’s commitmentis important because his readers aren’t just the sort of young and adventurous people who would happily jump on a plane to spend a weekend exploring a foreignculture. They are also the sort of people who say they care about the environment.It's a debate that splits people down the middle.The tourist industry has responded by offering offsetting (补偿) schemes. A small increase in the price of a ticket is used to plant trees.But critics say that it is not enough to just be carbon neutral. We should be actively cuttingback on putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And for the average person,making a plane journey will be his or her largest contribution to globalwarming. It may be good to repair the damage we do. But surely it is better notto do the damage in the first place.16. Mark Ellingham spent quite a few days in China on his way to Australia 25 years ago.A.

Tunguska Event1 A hundred years ago this week, a gigantic explosion ripped (撕裂) open the day y above a forest in western Siberia, leaving a scientific riddle that endures to this day.2 A dazzling light pierced the heavens,followed by a shock wave as strong as 1,000 atomic bombs. The explosion flattened 80 million trees across an area of 2,000 square kilometers. The fireball was so great that, a day later, Londoners could read their newspapers under the night sky. What caused the so-called Tunguska Event, named after the nearby Podkamennaya Tunguska river, still remains a mystery.3 Experts suspect it was a rock that, after traveling in space for millions of years, was destined to crash to Earthat exactly 7:17 a.m. on June 30, 1908. This possibility worries scienti sts.“Imagine an unspotted asteroid (小行星) hitting a significant chunk(块) of land ... and imagine if that area, unlike Tunguska, were populated,” the British science journal Nature commented recently.4 But no fragments of the “rock” have ever been found. Finding such evidence would be important, for it would increase our knowledge about the risk posed by dangerous NearEarth Objects (NEOs), say Italian researchers Luca Gasperini, Enrico Bonatti and Giuseppe Longo. When the next Tunguska NEO approaches, scientists will have to decide whether to try to deflect (使偏转) it or blow it up in space.5 However, several rival theories for the Tunguska Event exist. Wolfgang Kundt, a professor at Germany's Bonn University,believes the Tunguska Event was caused by a massive escape of 10 million tons of methane(甲烷)-rich gas from deep within earth's crust. Some people hold that the explosion was caused by an alien spaceship crash, or a black hole in the universe.23. Paragraph 2 C24. Paragraph 3 F25. Paragraph 4 E26. Paragraph 5 AA.

2020年职称英语考试真题及答案综合类B阅读理解(3) Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize AnnouncementsTwo scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the NobelPrize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements.Australian-born U.S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they couldbe among the front-runners for a Nobel.Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U.S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel.Among the pair's possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and El wood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute.Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite,established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. The economies prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968creation of Sweden's central bank.Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research.Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor (US $1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists."Individual researchers probably don't look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they're at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions."In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.36.【题干】Who is most unlikely to win this year's Nobel Prize in medicine?【选项】A.Elizabeth Blackburn.B.Carol Greider.C.Linda Buck.D.Pierre Chambon.【答案】C37.【题干】Which is NOT true of Alfred Nobel?【选项】A.He was from Sweden.B.He was the inventor of dynamite.C.He established the prizes in his will.D.He gave clear instructions on how to select winners.【答案】D38.【题干】Originally the Nobel Prizes did not include?【选项】A.The medicine prize.B.The literature prize.C.The peace prize.D.The economics prize.【答案】D39.【题干】The word "kicks" in line 6 from the bottom probably means_____【选项】A.excitement.B.income.C.motivation.D.knowledge.【答案】A40.【题干】Telomerase may play a key role in_____【选项】A.the unchecked growth of cancer cells.B.the killing of cancer cells.C.the division of cancer cells.D.the transmission of viruses.【答案】A。

Feed the World with Potatoes1. As food prices continue to rise rapidly,there is growing concern about the effect it will have among the world’s poor.2. Increasingly, experts are looking to thepotato as a possible low-cost solution to feeding the hungry. To emphasize the issue, the United Nations has called the potato “a hidden treasure” and named 2008 the International Yearof the Potato. Here’s how potatoes could end the food crisis.3. The potato matures more quickly, on less land and in harsher climate than most other major crops. Up to 85 percent of the plant is eatable, compared with around 50 percent of cereals. Its broad adaptability to a wide variety of farming systems is also note worthy.4. Potatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, which is release their energy slowly, and have only 5 percent of wheat’ s fat content. They contain only a quarter of the calories of bread and,according to the Potato Center, when boiled, potatoes have more protein and nearly twice the calcium as corn. Additionally, they are good source of vitamin C, iron, potassium(钾)and zinc(锌).5. The food and Agriculture Organization recently surveyed food price inflation in over 70 of the poor countries. Cereal price inflation was much higher and far more widespread than for potatoes. A significant factor behind the potato’ s affordability is the fact that unlike other agriculture products, the potato is not yet a global commodity, and has therefore not attracted speculative investors. Raw potatoes are heavy and carrot during transmit, so global trade has been show to take off. Also, potatoes are susceptible(易受影响的) to infection with disease, hindering(防碍) export. According to analysts’ estimates, less than 5 percent of potatoes are traded internationally, with prices driven primarily by local tastes instead of international demand.23. Paragraph 2__B___24. Paragraph 3__D___25. Paragraph 4__C___26. Paragraph 5__A___A. Potatoes’ Lower InflationB. Major Food CropsC. Healthy FoodD. Higher OutputE. Growing Importance of PotatoesF. High Price27.

The potato isnot yet a global commodity because FA. it has remained a controversial issueB. they are rising rapidlyC. they are very nourishingD. nobody eats itE. its yield is highF. raw potatoes can decay easily during transit。

Teaching Is “One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK”1) The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11~16), and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers. Since the 1980s, the number of graduates who say they would “seriously consider” teaching as a career has fallen sharply, from 64% in 1982 to just 17% today. Thereport suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.2) The main drawback of secondary teaching, according to the report, is the low salary. Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs, and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers. Joanne Manners, 24 is a good example. “ I graduated in maths last year, and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher—but when I looked into the details, it became clear that teaching isn’t a very lucrative(赚钱的)job these days. I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising, and so I decided not to become a teacher.”3) It’s not just about the money, however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don’t want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school.A lot of schools have problems with discipline, and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachersas in the past. Here’s the view of Dave Hallam, anaccountant from London:” I think parents are to bla me. They should have stricter rules with their children at home andalso teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”4) “ It makes me feel so proud.” Says Brian Jones, who works in a secondary school in London. So what does he thinkthe government should do to encourage more people to become teachers?” “My view is that the government should reducethe burden of work on teachers. I find that I always have too much work to do.”5) The report is clear that the problem of teachershortage is a very serious one. It says that the government should raise teachers’ pay significantly, to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign, with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, to show the positive sides of teaching to young people. Another solution could be set a maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work, in order to reduce stress on teachers. “Hopefully,” the report concludes, “these solutions can improve the poor image of secondary teaching, and increase the number of young people who want to become teachers in the future.【题干】23.

阅读判断What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others,however,think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person’s mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud1,was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams(1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung2was once a student of Freud’s. Jung,however,had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroesmay learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz,believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life, thoughts, and behavior. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men’s dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women’s dreams.3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn’t panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It’s important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.词汇:psychologist / saɪˈkɔlədʒɪst / n.心理学家gender / ˈdʒendə/ n.性别psychiatrist /sai' kaiətrɪst/ n.精神病学家(医生)Austrian / ˈɔstrɪən / adj.奥地利的注释:1.Sigmund Freud西格蒙德•弗洛伊德(1856—1939),犹太人,奥地利精神病医生及精神分析学家。

第十三篇Stage Fright1Fall down as you come onstage. That’s an odd trick. Not recommended. But it saved the pianist Vladimir Feltsman when he was a teenager back in Moscow. The veteran cellist Mstislav Rostropovich tripped him purposely to cure him of pre-performance panic,2 Mr. Feltsman said, “All my fright was gone. I already fell. What else could happen?”Today, music schools are addressing the problem of anxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and career preparation. There are a variety of strategies that musicians can learn to fight stage fright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky limbs, racing heart, blank mind.3Teachers and psychologists offer wide-ranging advice, from basics likelearning pieces inside out,4to mental discipline, such as visualizing a performance and taking steps to relax. Don’t deny that you’re jittery,they urge; some excitement is natural, even necessary for dynamic playing. And play in public often, simply for the experience.Psychotherapist Diane Nichols suggests some strategies for the moments before performance, “Take two deep abdominal breaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,’’she says. “And not one of these ‘please don’t kill me’smiles. Then choose three friendly faces in the audience, people you would communicate with and make music to, and make eye contact with them.”She doesn’t want performers to think of the audience as a judge.Extreme demands by mentors or parents are often at the root of stage fright,says Dorothy Delay, a well-known violin teacher. She tells other teachers to demand only what their students are able to achieve.When Lynn Harrell was 20,he became the principal cellist of the Cleverland Orchestra, and he suffered extreme stage fright. “There were times when I got so nervous I was sure the audience could see my chest responding to the throbbing. It was just total panic. I came to a point where I thought,‘If I have to go through this to play music, I think I’m going to look for another job.”5Recovery, he said, involved developing humility-recognizing that whatever his talent, he was fallible,and that an imperfect concert was not a disaster.6It is not only young artists who suffer, of course. The legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz’s nerves were famous. The great tenor Franco Corelli isanother example. “They had to push him on stage,”Soprano Renata Scotto recalled.Actually,success can make things worse. “In the beginning of your career, when you’re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, and they don’t have any expectations,”Soprano June Anderson said. “There’s less to lose. Later on, when you’re known, people are coming to see you, and they have certain expectations. You have a lot to lose.”Anderson added,“I never stop being nervous until I’ve sung my last note.”词汇:veteran / ˈvetərən / adj.经验丰富的jittery / ˈdʒɪtəri / adj.紧张不安的mentor / ˈmenˌtɔ: / n.指导者soprano / səˈprprɑ:nəʊ/ n.女高音;女高音歌手cellist/ ˈtʃelɪst / n.大提琴演奏家abdominal / æbˈdɔmənəl / adj.腹部的fallible/ ˈfæləbəl / adj.易犯错误的tenor /'tenə/ n.男高音注释:1.Stage Fright:舞台恐惧2.The veteran cellist Mstislav Rostropovich tripped him purposely to cure him of pre-performance panic…资深大提琴家米提斯拉夫 罗斯特罗波维奇故意把他绊倒,因而治愈了他的上台前的恐惧症……cure somebody of illness (problem):医治好病(解决问题)3.…its symptoms:icy fingers, shaky limbs, racing heart, blank mind…:……舞台恐惧的症状有:手指冰凉、四肢颤抖、心跳加快和大脑一片空白……4.Teachers and psychologists offer wide-ranging advice, from basics like learning pieces inside out…:老师和心理学家给出了方方面面的建议,从基础的做法,比如详细地学习曲目……inside out:in great detail详细地,从里到外地5.I came to a point where I thought,‘If I have to go through this to play music, I think I’m going to look for another job’.:我曾经一度认为,如果演奏音乐就必须过怯场这一关的话,那我可能得换其他工作了。
