13年职称英语补全短文模拟题和答案（3）Little Lady Starts Big WarHarriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” (46) The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress.But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852. They sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and150,000 in England. (47) Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America’s most popular play for 80 years. It might appear that “Uncle Tom’s Cabins was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil Wardays--particularly defenders of the slaverysystem--condemned it as false propaganda and poorlywritten melodrama (传奇剧作品).Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery (When asked how she came to write the book, she replied: “God wrote it.”), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. (48)Though she was born in Connecticut in 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary (神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action. (49) In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system.(50)In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said, “So, this is the little lady who started this big war.”A She had read a lot about the slavery system.B Today some historians think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.C But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery.D For a while it outsold every book in the world, except the Bible.E But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.F She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college.答案：E D C F B。

When the dog barks，she glances at a small electronic gadget(装置).The following―human‖translation appears on its screen：―Please take me with you‖―I realized that‘s how he was feeling.‖says Fukuda.The gadget is called Bowlingual，and it translates dog barks into feelings.People laughed when the Japanese toy maker Takara Company made the world‘s first dog—human translation machine in 2002.But 300，000 Japanese dog owners bought it.___(2).―Nobody else had thought about it，‖said Masahiko Kajita，who works for Takara.―We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could understand dogs?‖Bowlingual has two parts. ___(3). The translation is done in the gadget using a database containing every kind of bark.Based 0n animal behavior research，these noises are divided into six categories: happiness，sadness，frustration，anger，declaration and desire.___(4). In this way, the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion，which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.When a visitor went to Fukuda‘s house recently，th e dog barked a loud―bow wow‖.___(5). It was followed by―I‘m stronger than you‖as the dog growled and sniffed(嗅) at the visitor.The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120 It can store up to 100 barks，even recording the do g‘s emotions when the owner is away.A A wireless microphone is attached to the dog‘s collar，which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.B Nobody really knows how a dog feelsC This translated as ―Don‘t come this way‖D More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.E Now，the Japanese girl thinks she knows.F Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like―Let‘s play‖，―Look at me‖，or ―Spend more time with me‖参考答案：1. E. 空格前后句中都出现了―she‖(s he指代第1个句子中提到的―Kimiko Fukuda‖)，(这个名字看来不是为本土英国人或本土美国人的名字)，空格前后句都是在围绕―she(Kimiko Fukuda)‖进行讲述，因此推测空格处的句子在内容上也很可能与―she(Kimiko Fukuda)‖相关，因此判断E(现在，这个日本女孩认为她知道了)很可能是答案。

American DreamsThere is a common response to America among foreign writers：the US is a land of extremes where the best of things are just as easily found as the worst. This is a cliché(陈词滥调)。
In the land of black and white，people should not be too surprised to find some of the biggest gaps between the rich and the poor in the world. But the American Dream offers a way out to everyone.______________(1) No class system or government stands in the way.Sadly，this old argument is no longer true. Over the past few decades there has been a fundamental shift in the structure of the American economy.The gap between the rich and the poor has widened and widened. ______________(2)Over the past 25 years the median US family income has gone up 18 per cent. For the top 1 per cent，however，it has gone up 200 per cent. Twenty-five years ago the top fifth of Americans had an average income 6.7 times that of the bottom fifth. ______________(3)Inequalities have grown worse in different regions. In California，incomes for lower class families have fallen by 4 per cent since 1969. ______________(4) This has led to an economy hugely in favor of a small group of very rich Americans. The wealthiest 1 per cent of households now control a third of the national wealth. There are now 37 million Americans living in poverty. At 12.7 per cent of the population，it is the highest percentage in the developed world.Yet the tax burden on America's rich is falling，not growing. ______________(5) There was an economic theory holding that the rich spending more would benefit everyone as a whole. But clearly that theory has not worked in reality.A Nobody is poor in the US.B The top 0.01 per cent of households has seen its tax bite fall by a full 25 percentage points since 1980.C For upper class families they have risen 41 per cent.D Now it is 9.8 times.E As it does so，the possibility to cross that gap gets smaller and smaller.F All one has to do is to work hard and climb the ladder towards the top.(1) ____(1.1)____ (2) ____(1.2)____ (3) ____(1.3)____ (4) ____(1.4)____ (5) ____(1.5)____答案：1. 1正确的答案是: F1. 2正确的答案是: E1. 3正确的答案是: D1. 4正确的答案是: C1. 5正确的答案是: B大题1: 补全短文,阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。

One year-the unusually hot summer of 1980-heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1995, more than 600 people died in a similar heat wave in onecity-Chicago.To measure extreme heat, government weather experts have developed the Mean Heat Index. Itmeasures the average of how hot it is felt all day on an extremely hot day. Experts say it is the totalheat of a hot day or several hot days that can affect health.Several hot days are considered a heatwave. Experts say heat waves often become deadly when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.The most common medical problem caused by hot weather is heat stress. Usually, it also is the least severe. For most people, the only result of heat stress is muscle pain.The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot. Doctors say drinking water will help the pain disappear after the bodyagain has the right amounts of water and salt. For some people, however, the result is much more serious. For example,doctors say some people face a greatly increased danger from heat stress.These people have a weak or damaged heart,high blood pressure,or other problems of the blood system.Severe heat can help cause a heart attack or stroke.Health experts say this is the most common cause of death linked to hot weather.31.

outspoken(直言不讳)girl who likes to show her feelings directly.So needless to say,I often feel that he is insensitive.I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day:“If one does not love you the way you like,it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and

ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续).When I was put on a drip(点滴),he told me interesting stories to make me happy.Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender(温柔的)voice,I had never felt so safe and comfortable.Gradually,I fell asleep.When I woke up 15 minutes later,he was still mumbling(咕哝地说)to me.He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up.At that moment,I found love in his eyes.Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,I refused to admit it.I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her.He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do.The next morning,I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.My unromantic boyfriend

is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap.Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin,or in half,lengthwise(纵向地),if it is a large dinner napkin.If you need to leave the table

declarations last week.One calls English the nation’s official language and the other says it is the “common and unifying(统一的)”tongue.But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can’t understand why the issue is so controversial(有争议的).“The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,”says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University.“It’s related to a worry about the changing demography(人口统计)of the US.It’s a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.”In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation’s founding.John Adams lobbied(游说)in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a royalist(保皇主义者)attempt to define personal behavior.Since then,the country hasn’t had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.The emotions surrounding language resurface(再次浮现)not because people feel comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.“Language is never about language,”he says.According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English.Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don’t speak English at all.41.What are the two declarations concerned with?A.The status of the English language.B.The protection of new languages.C.The rights to speak one’s mother tongue.D.The improvement of the English language.42.Who suggested in the 18th century that English should be protected?A.Walt Wolfram.B.John Adams.C.Royalists.D.Dick Tucker.43.Which of the following is the current debate NOT related to?A.The immigration issues.B.The changing demography.C.The worry about the new languages.D.The US’s military strength.44.Which statement is true according to the 2000 US Census Bureau report?A.172 million Americans speak only English in their work places.B.37 million Americans speak English.C.209 million Americans are above the age of 18.D.6.5 million Americans speak good English.45.The phrase“kicked around”(paragraph 4)could be best replaced byA.“invented”.B.“formed”.C.“shaped”.D.“discussed”.第五篇Wayne BenoWayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease(帕金森氏病).“For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖).I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn’t often and I really couldn’t do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,”said Wayne.Then Wayne’s doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation(刺激)(DBS).DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson’s disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient.In addition to his doctor’s recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend’s experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.And was it ever.“It was the best thing I ever did.I’m down to zero pills a day and I don’t shake at all,”reports Wayne.“Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old self.I’m back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more fishing,every day of the year.Things just couldn’t be any better!”41.Before getting Parkinson’s disease,Wayne lovedA.social activities.B.outdoor activities.C.productive activities.D.quiet activities.42.What was true of the pills Wayne took for 13 years?A.They cured his disease.B.They produced terrible side effects.C.They stopped his shaking and tremors.D.They enabled him to go out as often as before.43.Deep Brain Stimulation is most effective forA.mental disorders.B.chronic diseases.C.permanent brain injuries.D.disabling movement disorders.44.Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend whoA.worked as a doctor.B.was against the DBS procedure.C.benefited from the DBS procedure.D.was a victim of the DBS procedure.45.After the surgery,Wayne feltpletely recovered.B.bad every single day.C.pain every now and then.D.worse than before the surgery.第六篇 Kobe BryantAfter 10 seasons wearing the No 8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No 33 in his senior year.Heswitched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs（季后赛）.So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists（专栏作家）.There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey （运动衫）.Some,such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre,argue that it is"all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard（非常执著的）fan of the popular TV drama "24".All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss（大惊小怪）over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball.Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets' No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45 in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.36.Which team has Bryant played for?A.The Los Angeles Lakers.B.The Houston Rockets.C.The Chicago Bulls.D.The Miami Heats.37.How long has Bryant been wearing No 8?A.Since he started to play basketball.B.For ten seasons.C.Since he entered high school.D.Since he left the Lakers.38.Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant's motive to change his number,according to this passage?A.He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.B.He wants to compare himself to Jordan.C.He wants to earn more money.D.He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.39.Why did Jordan choose No 23?A.Because that number would make him famous.B.Because that number would make his fans miss him.C.Because that number was related to the number his brother once wore.D.Because that number was easy to remember.40.What does the number Yao Ming chose stand for?A.Two long legs.B.Two strong arms.C.Two people in love.D.Two big countries.第七篇Trying to Find a PartnerOne of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate （心上人） was constrained（限制）by geography,social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster （牡蛎）,you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice.The expectations of partners are inflated（提高）to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn't,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.41.What does the recent poll show?A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family.C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.42.Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?A.The wife doesn't have to raise the children all by herself.B.The husband doesn't have to support the family all by himself.C.The wife is no longer the only person to manage the household.D.They will receive a large sum of money from the government.43.Which of the following was NOT a constraint on one's choice of soulmate in the old days?A.The health condition of his or her grandmother.B.The geographical environment.C.The social convention.D.The family tradition.44.Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?A.Good looks.B.An impressive career.C.A high salary.D.A fine sense of humor.45.The word"sustain"（paragraph 2）could be best replaced byA."reduce".B."shake".C."maintain".D."weaken".第八篇 Motoring Technology1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year,plus a further 50 million injuries.To reduce car crash rate,much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.Travelling at speed has always been dangerous.One advanced area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants.They can ensure you don’t miss important road signs or fall asleep.Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.Some safety developments aim to improve your vision.Radar can spot obstacles in fog,while other technology“sees through”big vehicles blocking your view.And improvements to seat belts,pedal(脚踏)controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer.The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety,as have,less surprisingly,size and shape.But whatever is in the fuel tank,you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations(创新).Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if you crash,automatically calling for help.Accidents cause many traffic jams,but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road.Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools.Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be every ones’s personal chauffeur(司机),but their latest efforts suggest that won’t be soon.31.To reduce car crash rate,many scientists are working hard toA.design fully automatic cars.B.develop faster electric vehicles.C.analyze road deaths occurring worldwide each year.D.improve the safety of cars and develop new fuels.32.According to the second paragraph,most road accidents happen due toA.heavy traffic.B.human mistakes.C.engine failure.D.bad weather.33.Which of the following safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision.B.Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog.C.Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles.D.Improvements in seat belts,pedal controls and tyres.34.Satellite tracking and remote communication systems can be used toA.reduce oil consumption.B.remove the obstacles on the road.C.call for help when one’s car crashes.D.help drivers get out of a traffic jam.35.Which of the following statements is true of robotic drivers?A.It will take some time before robotic drivers are available.B.Robotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roads.C.Robotic drivers can never replace human drivers.D.Robotic drivers are too expensive to use.职称英语补全短文题答题技巧1.补全短文出题思路：书内共编写15篇短文，每篇短文内有5处填空，短文后有A-F 6个句子，要求根据短文的内容来选择5个句子，分别补回原有的位置。
