5. C

6. C

7. A

概括大意

答案与题解:

1. D第一、二段介绍了CD的工作原理。声音以数码的形式刻录到CD磁片上。要想听声音,就得用CD放机,CD机用激光照射CD,接收机接收和分析从CD反射回来的激光波,还原为原来的数码,再转换为原来的声音。所以,D是答案。

2. A 第三段第一句“Digital codes are used with many technologies.”是主题句。本段其他句子提供例证,即应用领域。作者列举了5个领域:电邮、航天通讯、条码、手机和天气预报。选项A的“Digital code has wide applications”与主题句的意思完全吻合,所以是答案。

3. F 第四段第一句:“There are many types of compact disks.”是主题句。本段其他句子列举了两种常用的CD格式(format):一种是CD-RW,另一种是CD-ROM。选项F的“CDs are of many formats”概括了本段的大意,是答案。

4.C 第五段说的是CD碟片经久耐用,1982年上市的CD碟片至今还能使用,其音质依旧。现在上市的CD,更加耐用,如果使用得当,其寿命可达70~200年。选项C用了durable 予以概括是很恰当的,所以,C是答案。

5. E 第四段中出现CD-RW这个词,介绍了“They can be recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on)。这就是选E的依据。

6. B 第六段能找到与答案有关的句子,但It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented and introduced to the public for music recording.

7. C 第二段说到在CD机上还原数码时依靠的是激光发射装置和按收器。由此我们可以推论出激光发射器和接收器是CD机的主要部件。所以C是答案。

8. F 第三段第三句“Space probes communicate with their ground station on earth using

digital codes.”是选F的依据。

4. B 问题问的是:Ethan Sims让他的调查对象干什么? A说的是:跟他们的基因遗传物做斗争。B说的是:增加他们的重量。C说的是:呆在家里。D说的是:减少体重。第四段有一个句子是这么说的:Ethan Sims,of the University of Vermont,got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight.Vermont大学的Ethan Sims让犯人自愿增加体重。可见B是正确的答案。

5. A 问题问的是:科学家认为什么是对的? A说的是:每个人的体重都有一个适当的幅度。B说的是:每个人的体重幅度是9公斤。C说的是:每个人都想控制自己的体重。D说的是:每个人都想吃得高兴。正确答案是A。最后一段的第一句话是这么说的:The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true-each person has acomfortable weight range.结论还证实了科学家认为是正确的一点,即每个人的体重有一个适当的幅度。

第二篇

1.正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是:在European Russia北部地区发现石头物品和动物骨头前,一些专家认为人类大概多少年前在此地区生活?根据第一段二三句话,这个发现证明古时的猎人在此地区生活大概是在3万多年前,这比专家认为的至少早1.5万年

2.正确答案:B

解析:问题问的是:以下哪个不是这个发现的重要意义?根据第一段及31题答案可知选

项A是这个发现的重要意义,根据最后一段可知选项C和D也是这个发现的重要意义

3.正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是:以下哪个是这些发现中最重要的一个?根据第三段第一句their most important discovery was a tusk from an ancient elephant called a mammoth(猛犸),及第三句The tusk is covered with small cuts.可知选项D正确,即带有小的划痕的猛犸象牙

4.正确答案:C

解析:问题问的是:这个象牙有多少年的历史?根据第四段最后一句可知这个象牙有3万6千年历史

5.正确答案:B

解析:问题问的是:古代人需要什么才能在这样寒冷的环境下生存下来?根据第五段最后一句话,可知需要高等程度的社会发展,所以B是正确的选项

第三篇

1-5DCDBD

补全短文

【正确答案】FCEBD

【答案解析】1. 本文的题目是“注意乘地铁时的举止”;再从第一二段来看,作者是在文章开头指出两种不文明的行为,接着提出一系列建议要人们乘地铁时保持文明的举止。由此可以判断,F是最佳选项。

2. 上一句提到,尽管一些人的举止恼人,但是我们大多数人每天还是要乘地铁;下一句作者提出文明举止的一些建议以保证人们乘地铁时旅途愉快;选项C为过渡句。

3. 这是作者提出的关于文明举止的第一条建议。根据第一句,只有选E前后句在意思上才能说得通:让公共汽车或地铁上的乘客先下再上。有秩序地上下车能为所有人节省时间。

4. 这是作者提出的第三条建议。根据前两句的意思,第三句应选B前后才能说得通:不要在公共汽车或地铁上高声喧哗,这可能引起其他人的厌烦,也不要在公共汽车上大声地打手机。

5. 在最后这条建议中,作者首先提出不要从别人身后看。再看空白后面的一句,可以决定选D。后两句中的it和this都是指前一句中的read over other people’s shoulder.

2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案(3)

2020年职称英语考试卫生类B级阅读判断练习及答案 (3) “We hire talent. ” Those are the words of Rod Franz, a civil service computer technology director, responding to the question of opportunities for women who are interested in pursuing careers as computer technicians. On at least one of three shifts in his operation, the male-female ratio is 50-50. That is not surprising because government and educational institutes are required by the law to make every effort to open hiring opportunities to women and minority workers. What may be even more interesting to young women is that,according to Franz, private industry is hiring women and minorities away from us. And, since private industry pays more, it succeeds. Managers in the rapidly growing computer service field are quick to agree. They strongly encourage women to train for technician jobs, and they actively recruit female technicians across the country. They believe that this career field offers a wealth of possibility for women. A recent study by the Devry Institute of Technology that involved 100 employment managers in the Chicago area showed,too, that the number of women entering the field of computer science is on the rise, and that those already in the field are moving up. A significant increase in the number of women

第八篇Eat Healthy "Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate -club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:" Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little. Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently,some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller. It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that,after long hours at low-paying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck ,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents. 词汇: orphan /''?:f?n] / n.孤儿 belly /'beli/ n.肚子 3

2020年职称英语卫生类阅读判断练习(3)

2020年职称英语卫生类阅读判断练习(3) Online Cancer Chat with a Safety Net Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories and share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease. But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference: it has an information safety net. This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue "cancer cures" or scientifically unsound information. Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register. And Rebekah Gibbs,cancer patient and star of TV's Casualty has pledged her support for the new project."I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea," she said."I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing. "The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family.And with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged."

Buildings would rotate so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat Walls would "radiate light" and "change color with the push of a button." Food would be replaced by pills. School would be taught "by electrical impulse while we sleep." Cars would have radar. Does this sound like the year 2000? Actually, the article was written in 1958 and the question was, "what will life be like in 1978?" The future is much too important to simply guess about, the way the high school students did, so experts are regularly asked to predict accurately. By carefully studying the present, skilled businessmen, scientists, and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen. But can they? One expert on cities wrote: Cities of the future would not be crowded, but would have space for farms and fields. People would travel to work in "airbuses", large all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers. When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar. The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents "almost unheard of". Does that sound familiar? If the expert had been accurate it would, because he was writing in 1957. His subject was "The city of 1982". If the professionals sometimes sound like high-school students, it's probably because future study is still a new field. But economic forecasting, or predicting what the economy will do, has been around for a long time. It should be accurate, and generally it is. But there have been some big market in the field, too. In early 1929, most forecasters saw an excellent future for the stock market. In October of that year, the stock market had its worst losses ever, ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foreseers. One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant error. In 1957, H.J.Rand of the Rad corporation was asked about the year 2000, "Only one thing is certain," he answered. "Children born today will have reached the age of 43." 1. The high-school students' answers to "What would life be like in 1978?" sound A) accurate. B) imaginative. C) correct. D) foolish. 2. According to the writer, forecasting is fairly accurate in A) politics. B) science. C) sociology. D) economy. 3. Which of the following statements is not compatible with the writer's comment on future study?
