C 对介词短语 compare A to B 的考查。前者有比作、比拟的意思，后者表示把A和B作比较的意思。 10B make ones own name 表示成功、成名的意思。其他表示成功的短语还有make it，口语中更常见。答案C make ones own success有中式英语Chinglish之嫌。11. D 考查上下文，下文中“a broken nose or a swollen face”暗示拳击运动员受伤病困扰的苦恼，更不要说拳王本身正受帕金森综合症的折磨。另外，possible 一词之前常出现形容词最高级。综合上文两处的解释，worst 是最佳答案。12A 拳王表明拳击运动可能会造成严重的后果，意欲让女儿白己决定“是否”继续从事这项危险的运动。13. C 此题考查易混淆短语 in spite of和介词despite，多一个of或少一个of，都不对。14. B对上下文的考查，文中第一段就有fuelled the debate about the dangers of boxing and CRITICISM of the sport”。15. A 对上下文的考查，文中多次提及拳王女儿是初登拳坛，如第一段中“His presence at Lailas FIRST professional fight”,如第二段中的“Twenty-one-year-old Lailas DEBUT fight”,都是暗示莱拉“出现”在拳坛，故arrival最合适。答案B的搭配应该是the birth of ,而不是介词 on 。答案C的departure 是离开拳坛。答案D的attention 首先介词搭配应该是to，其次意思也不是甚为贴切。、2011年职称英语综合类B级阅读理解新增文章教材第三十八篇文章Excessive Demands on Young PeopleBeing able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill，but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M1 are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering away as much as half of their time again as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.Some young people are juggling an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time that they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, andor answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods2 or On another computer. As some new device comes along it too is added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up3 in their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry is supposedly also seriously affecting young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their perception of the impact of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, the overwhelming majority of young people gave a favourable response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind4 that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much.
