1. Teaching and LearningMany teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with1 the student. 11’n long reading assignment is given, instructors expect student to be familiar with the (1 ) D in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The (2) B student isconsidered to be one who is motivated to leam for the sake of2 (3) C ,not the one interestedonly in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned (4) D brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is (5) C for learning the material assigned. When research is (6) C , the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with (7) B guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain (8)D a university library works ;they expect students (9) A graduate students to exhaust the reference (10) Cin the library. Professors will help students who need it, but(11) D that their students should not be (12)A dependent on them. In the United States professors have many other duties (13)D teaching,such as administrative or B research work. Therefore,the time that a professor can spend with a student outside ofclass is. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either (15) C a professor during office hours'< or make an appointment.2.The Difference between Man and ComputerWhat makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet (1) C for? The answer is simple :People read newspaper stories for a reason:to leam more about (2) C they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don’t. In fact, computers don’t (3) B have interests;there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer (4) Ais to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a “purpose”.Of course,people have several goals that do not make (5) B to attribute to computers1. One might read a restaurant guide (6) C order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to (7) A a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry,and computers do not have business lunches.However,these physiological and social goals give (8) C to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find (9)D about the name of a restaurant which (10) D the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to (11) A information or knowledge, what we are calling (12) B goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer (13) B “want”to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so (14)D the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not (15) A out of hunger in the case of the computer2, it might well arise out of the “goal ”to leam more about restaurants.3.Look on The Bright SideDo you ever wish you were more optimistic, someone who always (1 ) B to be successful? Having someone around who always (2) C the worst isn’t really a lot of(3)D. We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, “It looks(4)D rain. ”But if you catch yourself thinking such things1, it’s important to do something (5)Cit.You can change your view of life, (6) B to psychologists. It only takes a little effort, and you’ll find life more rewarding as a (7) A . Optimism, they say, is partly about self- respect and confidence, but it,s also a more positive way of looking at life and all it has to (8)C. Optimists are more (9) B to start new projects and are generally more prepared to take risks2.Upbringing is obviously very important in forming your (10) B to the world. Some people are brought up to (11) C too much on others and grow up forever blaming other people when anything (12) A w rong. Most optimists, on the (13) C hand, have been brought up not to (14) A failure as the end of the world —they just (15) Bwith their lives.4.The First BicycleThe history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791,Count de Sivrac (1 )A onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celerifere. It was basically an (2) D version of a children’s toy which had been in (3)A for many years. Sivrac,s celeriferehad a wooden frame, made in the (4) B oi a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end1. To ride it, you sat on a small seat,just like a modern bicycle, and pushed (5) D against the (6) B with your legs —there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer a celerifere and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much (7) B to the fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were (8) C races up and down the streets.Minor (9) C were common as riders attempted a final burst of2 (10) D . Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change (11) A was to pull up the front of the “celerifere”and (12) C it round while the front wheel was (13) D in the air. “Celerifer6s”were not popular for long, however, as the (14) C of no springs, no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. Even so,the wooden celerifere was the (15) A of the modem bicycle.5.Working MothersCarefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have no* been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose mothers stayed at home.My personal (1) A is that mothers should be allowed to work if they wish. Whether we like it or not, there are a (2) C of mothers who just have to work. There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in establishing a career that they cannot (3) A to see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic (4) C. Many mothersare not (5) B out to be full-time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated. There are a number of options when it (6) D to choosing childcare. These range fromchild minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady (7) C the street1. (8) C ,however, many parents don’t have any choice;they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No (9) B how good the childcare may be, some children are going to protest wildly if they are left. This is a (10) A normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months2, but soon after that they start to get a crush on Mum and close family (11) C •Make sure that in the first week you allow (12) D time to help your child settle in' All children are different. Some are independent, while others are more (13) B to their mothers. Remember that if you want to (14) D the best for your children, it’s not thequantity of time you spend with them, it's the (15) A that matters.。

【关键字】职称英语2012年职称英语理工类B级教材精讲班课程第十一篇Climate change poses major risks for unprepared citiesA new examination of urban policies has been (1) carried out by Patricia Romero Lankao. She is a sociologist specializing in climate change and (2) urban development. She warns that many of the world’ s fast-growing urban areas, especially in developing countries, will likely suffer from the impacts of changing climate. Her work also concludes that most cities are failing to (3) reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse (4) gases. These gases are known to affect the atmosphere. “Climate change is a deeply local issue and poses profound threats to the growing cities of the world,”says Romero Lankao. “But too few cities are developing effective strategies to (5) protect their residents”.Cities are (6) major sources of greenhouse gases. And urban populations are likely to be among those most severely affected by future climate cha nge. Lankao’s findings highlight ways in which city presidents are particularly vulnerable, and suggest policy interventions that could offer immediate and long-term (7) threats.The locations and dense construction patterns of cities often place their populations at greater risk for natural disasters. Potential (8) threats associated with climate include storm surges and prolonged hot weather. Storm surges can flood coastal areas and prolonged hot weather can heat (9) paved cities more than surrounding areas. The impacts of such natural events can be more serious in an urban environment. For example, a prolonged heat weave can increase existing levels of air pollution, causing widespread health problems. Poorer neighborhoods that may (10)lack basic facilities such as drinking water or a dependable network of roads, are especially vulnerable to natural disasters. Many residents in poorer countries live in substandard housing (11) without access to reliable drinking water, roads and basic services.Local governments, _(12)therefore, should take measures to protect residents. “Unfortunately, they tend to move towards rhetoric (13) rather than meaningful responses, ” Romero Lankao writes. “They don’t emphasize mass transit and reduce (14) use. In fact, many local governments are taking a hands-off approach. ”Thus, she urges them to change their (15) idle policies and to take strong steps to prevent the harmful effects of climate change on cities.Climate change(n. 气候变化)poses(v. 造成) major(adj. 较大的)risks for unprepared(adj. 无准备的)citiesA new examination(n. 审查)of urban(adj. 城市的)policies (n. 政策)has been (1) carried out (v. 执行进行)by Patricia Romero Lankao. She is a sociologist(n. 社会学家)specializing in (v. 专门从事…)climate change and (2) urban (adj. 城市的) development(n. 发展).

A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person’s heart attack (4)risk.In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology,Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is(5)enough to offset the increase in heart attack risk from (6)eating a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake.Dr Francis,from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London,who is the senior author of the study, said:”Statins don’t cut out a11 of the (7) unhealthy effects of cheeseburgers and French fries.It’s better t o avoid fatty food altogether.But we’ve worked out that in terms of your (8) possibility ofhaving a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same (9) degree as a fast food meal increases it.” “It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthy condiments in fast food outlets as they (10)like, but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are (l1) provided free of charge.It would cost less than 5 pence per (12) customer 一not much different to a sachet of sugar.” Dr Francis said.When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take (13) measures that lower their risk, 1ike (14) wearing a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of (15) lowering some of the risks of eating a fatty meal.2010年理工A/B概括大意与完成句子考题Natural GasNatural gas is produced from reservoirs deep beneath the earth’s surface.It is a fossil fuel,meaning that it is derived from organic material buried in the earth millions of years ago.The main component of natural gas is methane(甲烷).The popularity and use of clean natural gas has increased dramatically over the past 50 years as Dipeline infrastructure(基础设施)has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential,commercial and industrial customers worldwide.Today,natural gas service is available in all 50 states,and is the leading energy choice for fueling American homes and industries.More than 65 million American homes use natural gas.In fact,natural gas is the most economical source for home energy needs,costing one-third as much as electricity. In addition to heat-ing homes,much of the gas used in the United States is used as a raw material to manufacture a wide variety of products,from paint,to fibers for clothing,to plastics for healthcare,computing and furnishings.Natural gas is also used in a significant number of new electricity-generating power plants. Natural gas is one of the safest andcleanest fuels available.It emits less pollution than other fossil fuels.dioxide(二氧化碳)and water vapor—the same substances emitted when humans ex-hale.Compared with some other fossil fuels,natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide in-to the air when combusted(燃烧)-making natural gas the cleanest burning fossil fuel of all.The industry also is subject to substantial federal regulation in the areas of production and distribution,which help ensure it is provided to consumers safely and cleanly.The United States consumes about one—third of the world’s natural gas output,making it the lar-gest gas consuming region in the world.The U.S.Department of Energy’s Energy Information Ad-ministration forecasts that natural gas demand will grow by more than 50 percent by 2025. There are huge reserves of natural gas beneath the earth’s surface.The largest reserves of natural gas can be found in Russia,West and North Africa and the Middle East.LNG(液化天然气)has been produced domestically and imported in the United States for more than four decades. Today,the leading importers of LNG are Japan,Korea,France and Spain.23.Paragraph 2_______________ 24.Paragraph 3_______________ 25.Paragraph 4_______________ 26.Paragraph 5_______________ A.Popularity and use of natural gas B.Natural gas reserves and supply C.Natural gas pricesD.Clean fuel of choice E.Disadvantages of natural gas F.Natural gas consumption 27.Natural gas is stored deep________.28.Natural gas is recognized as the most economical energy source ________.29.When manufacturing many products,people commonly use natural gas ________.30.It is estimated that by 2050 that natural gas demand in the United States will increase________.A.over the past 50 years B.beneath the earth surfaceC.by more than 50 percentD.for more than four decades E.as a raw materialF.for home energy needs第5部分:补全短文(选自2008/A)What’s Lacking in 'Sicko'?When it comes to economic decisions, there are always trade-offs(取舍). Gain one thing and you lose something else. _✰__(46)The central argument of Michael Moore's movie “Sicko” - that the cure to the nation's health care problems is a single - payer system - is hardly novel and is certainly worth consideration, whether or not you agree with it. But in comparing the American system with single-payer plans of other countries - Britain, France, Canada and Cuba - Mr. Moore left out the trade-offs, characterizing those countries as health care paradises. _____(47)Kurt Loder, the film critic who is best known as the anchor(主持人)of “MTV News, ” wrote a critique(批评)of the film for MTV's website. “'Sicko,'” he said, “does a real service” in portraying (描绘)victims of American insurance companies - like the people who died because their only treatment options were considered “experimental” and therefore not covered. ___(48)When “governments attempt to regulate the balance between a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand for it, they’re inevitably forced to ration treatment.” Mr. Loder asserted. ___(49)Mr. Loder cited the short film “Dead Meat,” which presents anecdotes(轶事)of failure in the Canadian single-payer system. In its one-sidedness, “Dead Meat” might have made for a nice double feature with “Sicko.” and left moviegoers with a more complete understanding of the complications of deciding on a health care system.___(50)This all makes an otherwise “emotionally compelling film not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one, ” wrote Darren Barefoot, a Canadian blogger(博客作者).A Mr. Moore also decided to ignore problems in other countries, like France’s high taxes and Britain’s cash-short hospitals.B But the film as a whole, he concluded, is “breathtakingly meretricious(似是而非的),”in large part because of its characterizations of other countries' health care systems.C The problems have been noticed—and criticism is coming not just from Mr. Moore's detractors(诋毁者).D He ticked off a number of negative statistics to counter the positive ones offered by Mr. Moore.E Health care is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness.F This is particularly true in health care, a market in which scarce(稀罕的)goods are ridiculously expensive, but needed by everybody.参考答案:46.

Environmentalists warn that Britain lags behind in this.There were reports of growing unease among consumers over the amount of packaging they have to deal with.

In Sweden, non-recyclable batteries have been taxed since 1991 to encourage a switch to alternatives. __(50) in Germany, plastic bags are unheard of in supermarkets and deposits are paid for reusable plastic and glass beverage bottles.A In Belgium, when you buy something in a plastic or glass container, you make a deposit.B This is because too much padding can give buyers a false impression of what they are buying.C This has resulted in a 74 percent reduction in sales.D Tesco said it was saving 112,000 tons of cardboard a year by switching to reusable plastic crates (装货箱) fortransporting its fresh produce.E The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper.F If a product is over-packaged, don't buy it.46.

Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality 2 the road.Not only did you find out much more about a country than 3 traveling by train or plane, but also there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night. Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it.

2*第七篇 The Difference between Man and Computer 人与电脑的区别What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet (1) account_ for? The answer is simple : People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about (2) what they are interested in , Computers, on the other hand , don't. In fact ,computers don't (3) even have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer (4) programs is to be a model of story understanding ,it should also read for a "purpose".Of course ,people have several goals that do not make (5) sense to attribute to computers. One might read arestaurant guide (6) in order to satisfy hunger , or entertainment goals or to (7) find a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.However ,these physiological and social goals give (8) rise to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find (9) information about the name of a restaurant which (10)serves the desired type of food ,how expensive the restaurant is ,the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to (11) acqurie information or knowledge, what we are calling (12) learning goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer (13) might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant ,and read a guide in order to do so (14) in the same way as a person might. While such a goal wouldnot (15)arise out of hunger in the case of the computer ,it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.是什么让人有别于电脑程序?我们的理论还解释的缺少的要素是什么?答案很简单:人们阅读报纸故事是为了学习更多他们感兴趣的东西,而不是电脑.事实上,甚至连电脑兴趣都没有;当它们试图阅读时他们没有寻找任何特别的东西. 如果一个电脑程序是理解故事模式,那它也是为了某个意图去阅读. 诚然,人类的意图若是被强加到电脑身上便没有任何意义.一个人可能会读就餐指南, 只是为了解决饥饿或是有娱乐目的,也可能是为了寻找一个吃商务餐的好地方.电脑不会饿,电脑也不吃商务餐.然而,这些心理和社会目标会导致一些智力或者认知目标。
一个想要解决饥饿的意图会促使这样的念头产生:找到一个提供我们想要的食物的餐厅,这餐厅叫什么名,价位如何,在什么位置等。
