Sixty years ago, a man named Kenneth Arnold saw something that people are still _1_ today -something that changed popular culture for ever.来源：中国职称英语考试网 Flying his plane over mountains in the US state of Washington, he saw a line of strange objects, either crescent -shaped or disc-like, flying _2_ the motion of a saucer skimming on water. The media soon picked up on the story-the Flying Saucers were here1! Was the earth being _3_ by creatures from another planet? Soon， so many sightings were made that the US military began to _4_. It called these strange objects UFOs -Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are _5_ today. Military investigations found no evidence of visitors from outer space. But that did not stop the true _6_. The military were _7_ up, they said. Or _8_ it was because the travelers from space were of such superior intelligence that they could hide from the most sophisticated military analysts. People have always seen strange lights in the sky. In the past these were explained in_9_ ways. In a world where religion was less influential and science fiction was popular, signs from god were replaced by visitors from other _10_. The date of the first UFO signings was also significant. In 1947, World War II had just ended and the _11_ war was just beginning. Humanity seemed locked in endless conflicts. Like generations before them, people looked _12_ the skies for help. But instead of seeking God, they looked for help from super-intelligent aliens with _13_ technology. Belief in UFOs became the first religion of science.来源：中国职称英语考试网 However, even people who believe in UFOs are not quite sure why they visit the earth. The universe is a big place and it is _14_ to assume that there is life somewhere out there. It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments _15_ on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?词汇：crescent n月牙，月牙形物 saucer n碟skim v飞速掠过 alien n外星人练习：1. A) looking B) seeing C) seeking D) feeling2. A) below B) underneath C) with D) under3. A) ruled B) bombarded C) captured D) visited4. A) investigate B) attack C) shoot D) confront5. A) named B) called C) known D) dubbed 标准答案：B,C,D,A,C 来源：中国职称英语考试网 解析：1B see和look这两个词词义相关， 因此首先重点关注。空格前面出现了动词saw(see的过去时态)， 因此 B是答案的可能性较大（提示1：上下文的用词特点（上下文常常通过使用同一词汇/近义词/词汇/反义词形成上下文意义的衔接）。look是不及物动词，而see 既可用作及物动词也可用作不及物动词。空格处的动词是及物动词，引导定语从句的连接词充当从句中谓语动词的宾语， 因此B是答案。考点：考察近义词的辨析2C 四个词都是介词。其中below、underneath和under是方位介词，这三个介词互为近义词， 因此彼此排除掉（提示2：备选项中出现的近义词词组通常是干扰项）， 因此答案只能是with（with是方式介词）。With所在的句子结构说“.以碟子飞速掠过水面的移动方式飞着”。考点：常见介词的基本用法。3D 选项D是文章主题词（visitors）的家族词汇，因此D可能是答案（提示3：文章主题词/文章主题词的近义词/文章主题词的家族词汇可能是答案）。第三段的第一句话（Military（军事的） investigations（调查） found（发现） no evidence（证据） of visitors（客人） from outer space（外层空间）.）说“军事调查并没有发现能证明从外层空间来了客人的证据”， 由此判断空格处用visited上下文意义呼应。考点：文章主题词/上下文意义衔接词来源：中国职称英语考试网4A 空格处需要出现不及物动词， 因此首先排除D（及物动词）。 该句说“不久由于出现了这么多的目击事件， 以至于美国军方开始.”, 根据该句句意判断A（调查）出现在空格中最恰当。考点：常见动词的辨析/上下文意义衔接词5C name和call是近义词， 都可以表示“命名”， 因此在“命名”这个词义上彼此排除掉，name虽然还有“任命， 提名”这样的词义， 但这样的词义放入空格中意义不通（空格所在的句子结构说“那就是现在它们（不明飞行物）怎样被.的”），因此A和B都不是答案。 剩下的选项中选项C（了解）放入空格中意义通顺（那就是不明飞行物怎样被人们知道的）， 因此答案为C。 考点：常见动词的辨析来源：中国职称英语考试网25、 6. A) believers B) thinkers C) followers D) liars7. A) hiding B) covering C) cheating D) tricking8. A) definitely B) undoubtedly C) necessarily D) maybe9. A) awkward B) crude C) religious D) foolish10. A) planets B) continents C) countries. D) regions标准答案：A,B,D,C,A 解析：6A 空格所在的句子说“但是那(军事调查没有发现有外空来访者的证据)不能阻止真正的.”由此可以看出，最合适的词是believers。来源：中国职称英语考试网考点：词义相关词的辨析/上下文之间的意义关系（转折）7B 只有cover可以跟up搭配。因此选择covering。Cover up是固定搭配，其含义为“掩盖”。 考点：固定搭配结构（动词短语）补充相似短语结构：go up上升, 增长stand up站起来set up 设立, 竖立, 创(纪录)take up 拿起, 开始从事, 占据 put up举起, 抬起, 推举use up用完, 耗尽 drink up 喝光8D 备选项中A， B和C词义接近：都可以表示“肯定地”， 因此彼此排除掉， 答案只能为D。 其实空格所在句子的第一个词是or(或者)，表示两种情况都有可能，因此只有用maybe在语义上才是一致的。考点：常见副词的辨析。9C 根据空格所在的局部结构“were explained in .ways/以.的方式被解释”判断B（天然的，未加工的）出现在空格中不合适。借助接下来的句子“In a world（世界） where religion （宗教）was less（较少地） influential（有影响力的）”(在一个宗教的影响不如以前的世界里)，判断合适的选项是religious。考点：上下文意义衔接词来源：中国职称英语考试网10A 本文的主题是讲不明飞行物，也就是讲来自外星球的人，因此合适的选择是planets。考点：文章主题。11. A) cool B) star C) nuclear D) cold12. A) above B) to C) at D) up13. A) traditional B) backward C) classical D) advanced14. A) unthinkable B) impossible C) reasonable D) insensible15. A) performed B) carried C) brought D) taken 标准答案：D,B,D,C,A 解析：11D 正确地回答这道题需要有一点世界知识。第二次世界大战结束后冷战开始，因此选择cold是正确的。核战争(nuclear war)如果会发生的话，文明早就消失了。cold war是冷战。考点：固定搭配结构（名词性的短语结构）12B look to是依赖。Look to.for. 是指“为了.而指望.”。因此to是合适的选择。相关的句子说的是：跟先辈们一样，人们乞求老天来帮助他们。look at是“看”， Look up是“往上看，查寻 ”。 look up是一个干扰项，look up在表示“往上看”时是不及物动词性的短语结构。考点：固定搭配结构（动词性的短语结构）13D 空格所在的局部结构说“aliens with .technology/有着.技术的外星人”， 由此判断D（先进的）是答案。考点：常见形容词的辨析（通过派生法而形成的形容词）14C 与空格所在的句子并列的句子说：宇宙是一个很大的地方。从这句话可以推出，我们有理由假设在那儿有生命的存在。因此，选reasonable是对的。考点：it句型来源：中国职称英语考试网15A 根据空格所在的局部结构“have had experiments.on them/使实验在他们身上被.”判断A（做）是答案。考点：非谓语动词结构/常见动词的辨析2009年职称英语综合类C级精选试题一补全短文2009-2-6 13:26:26第五部分：补全短文（每题2分，共10分）阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放会文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置。Single-parent FamiliesToday we tell about the major change in the American family. It is the increase in the number of families with only one parent. _1_. One of the reasons for this is the increasing number of women who have children without being married. The United States Census Bureau recently released a new report on the situation._2_. It said 24 percent of them had at least one child. Almost 4 million unmarried women in the United States are mothers. This is an increase of almost 60 percent in the past 10 years. _3_. In the past, women were expected to marry and remain home with their children. They depended on their husbands to earn money to support the family. Experts say women were pushed into marriage by many parts of American society._4_. _5_. They say American women have fewer economic reasons for marrying than they did years ago. This is because more women work outside the home today than in the past, and there is less of difference between the earnings of men and women in the United States. Other experts believe there is social and cultural explanation for the increase in unmarried mothers in America. One explanation is that the womans rights movement gave many women a new feeling of independence. Another explanation is the society is more willing to accept unmarried mothers than it did in the past. Unmarried mothers and their children no longer live in shame.来源：中国职称英语考试网A. About 22 percent of American children now live with only one parent.B. Experts have tried to explain the reasons for the increase.C. The report included women between the ages of 18 and 44 who have never been married.D. Experts say this is not true today.来源：中国职称英语考试网E. A womans family expected her to be married, so did religious groups, customs and laws.F. There has been much debate in the United States about the single-parent family. 标准答案：A,C,B,E,D 解析：1.A. 空格后面在解释原因（出现这种情况的一个原因是有越来越多的未婚妈妈）， 由此判断空格前很可能是对某种现象（“未婚妈妈越来越多”造成的现象）， 因此A（在美国大约有22%的孩子生活在单亲家庭里）是答案。来源：中国职称英语考试网2.C选项C中的the report正好与空格前的a report呼应， 选项C（报告涉及到年龄再18岁到44岁之间从未结过婚的妇女）在句意上也与空格前句内容衔接。3.B 选项B中的the increase与空格前句（上一段最后一句）中的an increase呼应， 空格后面的句子是在分析原因， 因此B（专家们一直在试图解释造成这种增加的原因）是答案。4.E. 空格前句说“专家们说在过去美国社会的很多因素迫使妇女结婚”， 这是一个观点句，因此其后面很可能应该出现解释性的话语， 而E正好是在解释， E说“在过去， 美国妇女的家庭希望她结婚， 社会上的宗教群体，习俗和法律也希望妇女结婚”。而且E与空格前句的时态也一致。5.D空格所在的段落是在讲述现在的情况， 从过去情况的讲述转变到对现在情况的描述， 这两者之间需要出现一个起着承上启下的过渡句，D正好起着这样的作2009年职称英语综合类C级精选试题一阅读理解（3）2009-2-6 13:25:07第3篇Brazil, a success at reducing population growth Brazil has become one of the developing worlds great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better result without really trying, says Georgy Martine at Harvard.来源：中国职称英语考试网 Brazils population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries. Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas(通俗电视连续剧) and installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the worlds biggest producers of soap operas. Global, Brazils most popular television network shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soap operas are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities. “Although they have never really tried to work in a massage towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, says Martine.”They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.” 来源：中国职称英语考试网 Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor the become consumers. “This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible（不相容的）with unlimited reproduction.”says Martine.1. According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth _.A) by educating its citizensB)by careful family planC)by developing TV programsD) by chance来源：中国职称英语考试网1.According to the passage, many Third World countries _.A) havent attached much importance to birth controlB) would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate.C) havent yet found an effective measure to control their populationD) neglected the role of TV played in family planning2.The phrase “put it down to”(Line 1, Para. 3)is closest in meaning to _.attributes it tosumps it up asfinds it a reason forcompares it to来源：中国职称英语考试网3.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazils birth rate because _.they keep people sitting long hours watching TVthey have gradually changes peoples way of lifepeople are drawn to their attractive packagethey popularize birth control measures4.What is Martines conclusion about Brazils population growth?the increase in birth rate will promote consumptionthe desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rateconsumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.A countrys production is limited by its population growth标准答案：D,C,A,B,B 来源：中国职称英语考试网 解析：1D 问题句说“根据文章的说法，巴西通过.减少人口增长？ ”， 问题句中没有特征词以及细节信息词出现， 因此利用问题句中的核心词语（Brazil, population growth, cut back）作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：“Brazil has become one of the developing worlds great successes at reducing （与“cut back”词义相近）population growth but more by accident than design.”该句说“巴西的人口增长得了控制，这纯粹是出于偶然，而不是由于巴西的精心设计”。 by accident与by chance同义。2. C. 问题句说“根据文章相关内容， 许多第三世界国家.”， 从句意来看，该问题与文章中具体细节相关， 属于细节题。利用问题句中的特征词Third World countries作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：Brazil has become one of the developing worlds great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better result without really trying, says Georgy Martine at Harvard.Brazils population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.答案相关句（划线句）说“Martine说这个数字在1990以后进一步下降， 这是一个许多第三世界国家都感到嫉妒的成绩”， 显然这个句子与问题与被选项都没有直接的关系。文章第一段中出现了“countries such as India”（与“Third World countries/第三世界国家”呼应）， 该句说“第三四节国家作了很大的努力， 但成绩却不如没做什么努力的巴西”， 由此可推断出“许多第三世界国家还没有找到有效的手段来控制人口增长”。3A 本题测试点：词义推断题。 根据“put it down to”所在的上下文判断： it指代“巴西在控制人口方面所取得的骄人成绩”， 下文中提到“电视剧，分期付款在控制人口出生率上起着重要的作用”， 因此只有选项A（归因于）放入原文才句意通顺。来源：中国职称英语考试网4B 问题句说“肥皂剧有助于巴西降低人口增长， 其原因是.”。从句意来看，该问题与文章中具体细节相关， 属于细节题。利用问题句中的细节信息词Soap operas作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas(通俗电视连续剧) and installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the worlds biggest producers of soap operas. Global, Brazils most popular television network shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soap operas are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“Although they（指代soap operas） have never really tried to work in a massage towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, says Martine.”They（指代soap operas） sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”划线句是直接答案相关句，这两个句子说“尽管这些肥皂剧从来无意干涉人口繁殖， 它们只是描写了中上层阶级的生活价值观 少生孩子， 独特的性别观念， 妇女在外工作。 肥皂剧传播着这些信息， 使人们逐渐认识，理解了另一种生活方式， 人生观。 这种生活方式，人生观队他们极有吸引力。”因此B是答案。5B 问题句说“Martine对巴西人口增长得出的结论是.”。 顺着上一题在文章中的答案位置往下查找答案相关句， 同时利用特征词Martine作为答案线索：Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor the become consumers. “This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible（不相容的）with unlimited reproduction.”says Martine.答案相关句（划线句）说“这就导致了消费方式的巨大变革， 而无限制生育与消费是互不相容的”， 该句句意与B（对消费的渴望有助于减少出生率）一致。第2篇The only way is up Think of a modern city and the first image that come to mind is the skyline. It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities dont permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers. When people gather together in cites, they create a demand for land. Since cities are places where money is made, that demand can be met. And the best way to make money out of city land is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground. That means building upwards.来源：中国职称英语考试网 The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough for people on the top floors to climb stairs. People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, or home. Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift or elecator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old. Lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them before selling the idea to architects and builders. A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would juts be boring. Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior find lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to the that with humans is in observing them in lifts.来源：中国职称英语考试网 “It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us and you just cant choose to move away.”says workplace psychologist, Gray Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stand close to the door. Others hide in the corners. Most people try and shrink into the background. But some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stand in a corner taking notes. Dont worry about them. They are probably from a university.1. “.these are cities concerned with the past”in the first paragraph refer to cities that _.A) are worried about their past.来源：中国职称英语考试网B) Have a glorious past to be proud of.C) Want to maintain their traditional image.D) Are very interested in their own history. 2. The difficulty in constructing tall buildings in the 19th century lies in _.A) the shortage of moneyB) the lack of a device to carry people upwardC) the backward technologyD) mountains taking up land space3. When Otis came up with the idea of a lift, _.A) he sold it to the architects and builders immediatelyB) The Egyptians used it to build the Pyramids.C) It was accepted favorably by the public.D) Most people had doubt about its safety.来源：中国职称英语考试网4.
