职称英语考试《理工类》模拟试题及答案0510-561、English and English Community1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language. The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese.2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities. The people who make up the community share a common language. Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city. More often they form a whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience, we may divide the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learnEnglish as a second language for the purpose of education, commerce, and so on.4 Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind. The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture; a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel. Learning English as asecond language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.Overall there are more speakers of Chinese than of____.【单选题】A.a second languageB.the same languageC.the same speech communityD.any other languageE.national boundariesF.a part ofone's heritage正确答案:D答案解析:从文章第1段可知，说汉语的人比说任何其他语言的人都要多。

职称英语考试《理工类》模拟试题及答案0510-781、Arctic MeltEarth's North and South Poles are famous for being cold and icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter and shrinks(缩小) during the summer. But for many years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent drop in end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 and 2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner. Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That's 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. And it's a very large 23percent below the previous record low, which was set just 2 years ago. This continuing trend has made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons for the ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice and open water. Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water and the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average and 1.5c warmer than the previous record.With both air and water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above and below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska and western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer was measured just 50 cm by season's endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.The Beaufort Sea mentioned in paragraph 7 is an example to show ______.【单选题】A.how accurate the new measurements areB.how thick the ice is in itC.how serious the problem of the ice melt in the Arctic isD.how dangerous it is to travel to it正确答案:C答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据比较明显，文章第七段和第八段谈到，夏天冰层以超出科学家预料的速度迅速融化，答案是C。

few cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart disease,Greek researchers said on Wednesday.A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation showed further evidence of the potential health benefits from a brew already linked to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries to relax,said Charalambos Vlachopoulos,a cardiologist at the Athens Medical School in Greece who worked on the study.Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher quantities of beneficial compounds called flavonoids(类黄酮)--some of which are lost in the oxidation process that black tea undergoes.Flavonoids are also found in cocoa,tomatoes and grapes."A couple of cups a day would probably be a good dose for people,"Vlachopoulos said."This is the first study to show these effects for green tea."The researchers gave14healthy volunteers either green tea,diluted caffeine or hot water and then measured the function of endothelial cells lining the circulatory system.These cells help relax arteries and ease blood flow."What is important is these effects are evident fairly rapidly,within30 minutes,"Vlachopoulos said.The measurements taken30,90and120minutes following consumption showed an almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk green tea, he said.While the researchers looked only at a short-term impact,Vlachopolous said the team's studies suggest the protection is long lasting."Green tea is consumed lessin the Western world than black tea,but it could be more beneficial because of the way it seems to improve(circulatory)function,"he said.1.According to the Greek researchers,having several cups of green tea each day may help prevent heart diseaseA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned2.There are no studies

tea in the worldA.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned答案：ABBACBCWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims,the first step is to present the warranty,or any other records which might help,at the store of purchase.In most cases,this action will produce results.However,if it does not,there are variousmeans the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager.In general,the “higher up”his or her complaint,the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case,it is usually settled in the consumer's favor,assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible,but if they cannot get to the place of purchase,it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly,and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done,the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong,rather than by making general statements.For example,“The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear”is better than“This stereo does not work”.The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer.If so,the consumer should do this,stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result,the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.1.When a consumer finds that his or her in it,the first thing he or she should do is to____.A)complain personally to the managerB)threaten to take the matter to courtC)write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD)show some written proof of the purchase to the store2.How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective,according to the passage?A)Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.B)Threaten to take the seller to court.C)Make polite and general statements about the problem.D)Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.3.According to the passage,which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?A)Complain to the store manager in person.B)Complain to the manufacturer.C)Write a complaint letter to the manager.D)Turn to the Consumers’Rights Protection Organization for help.4.The phrase“live up to”in this context means____.A)meet the standard ofB)realize the purpose ofC)fulfill the demands ofD)keep the promise of5.The passage tells us____.A)how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemB)how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC)how to avoid buying a faulty itemD)how to deal with complaints from customers答案：DADABRunning MarathonOvertaken on a hill，three runners in an American marathon race were left behind by a l3-year old boy.(1)Wesley’s father,a doctor from Taiwan now living in Kansas，started jogging，worried about his weight.Wesley，then a child of3and a half，joined him.(2)Ever since then,Wesley became extremely interested in such exercise.

职称英语考试《理工类》模拟试题及答案0510-551、Walking to Exercise the BrainDo you think sitting and studying all the time will improve students grades? Think again. Getting some exercise may help, too.New research with older people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if they didn't exercise.Previous research had shown that mice learn, remember and pay attention better after a few weeks of working out on a running wheel. Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don't. Their brain cells also make more connections.Neuroscientists (神经科学家) from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign wanted to find out if the same thing is true for people. First, they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults, ages 58 to 77, after each person walked I mile. Then, participants looked at arrows on a computer screen and had touse computer keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing.Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task, and their answers were just as accurate as their less - fit peers, the researchers found. The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions.In a second study, 15 elderly people who completed a 6 - month aerobic - training (有氧运动) course were faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning (韵律操) exercises for the same amount of time.So, even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help. That should be good news for the elderly. The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven't been studied yet. Still, it can't hurt to take occasional breaks and go for a walk or run around with friends. Whatever you do, though, don't try to read and walk at the same time. You could end up hurting yourself!The first study on 41 elderly people found ______.【单选题】A.the less - fit participants did arrow tasks fasterB.the fitter participants did arrow tasks fasterC.the less - fit participants gave more accurate answersD.the fitter participants gave more accurate answers正确答案:B答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真阅读文章。

But if they absolutely refuse，methadone is better than heroin.”Basically the idea is to apply “sunscreen” to the whole planet.One astronomer has come up with a radical plan to cool Earth;launch trillions of feather-light discs into space，where they would form a vast cloud that would block the sun’s rays.It’s controversial，but recent studies suggest there areways to deflect just enough of the sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface to counteract the warming produced by the greenhouse effect.Global climate models show that blocking just 1.8 per cent of the incident energy in the sun’s rays would cancel out the warming effects produced by a doubling of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That could be crucial，because even the most severe emissions-control measures being proposed would leave us with a doubling of carbon dioxide by the end of this century，and that would last for at least a century more.1. According to the first two paragraphs，the author thinks thatA strong measures have been taken by the government to prevent global warming.B to reduce carbon emissions is all impossible mission.C despite the difficulty，scientists have some options to prevent global warming.D actions suggested by scientists will never be realized.2. Scientists resist talking about their options because they don't want people toA know what they are doing.B feel their efforts are useless.C think the problem has been solved.D see the real problem.3. What does Stephen Schneider say about a heroin addict and methadone?A Methadone is an effective way to treat a hard heroin addict.B Methadone is not a correct way to treat a heroin addict.C Hospitalization together with methadone can work effectively with a heroin addict.D Methadone and heroin are equally effective in treating aheroin addict.4. What is Stephen Schneider’s idea of preventing global warming?A To ask governments to take stronger measures;B To increase the sunlight reaching the Earth.C To apply sunscreen to the Earth.D To decrease greenhouse gases.5. What is NOT true of the effectiveness of “sunscreen”，according to the lastparagraph?A It deflects sunlight reaching the Earth to counteract the warming.B It blocks the incident energy i n the sun’s rays.C It is a controversial method.D It decreases greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.答案：CCACD补全短文The first four minutesWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general,he says, "People like people who like themselves."On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way."__3__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.__4__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.A. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D. Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E. He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F. He is eager to make friends with everyone.The first four minutes下载全文。
