You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Do you know how to use a mobile phone (手机) without being rude to the people around you?Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振动 ). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces.

If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.Many people believe that they cant live without their mobile phone.

The 5 questions or unf inished statements are numbered 41 to 45.When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope.Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzos parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to takethem seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies werent interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反复实验 ), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料)commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named" Lorenzos Oil", saved the boys life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory.As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.Finally, the boys father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keepsALD children healthy.41. Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because .A) they had never treated the disease before B) Lorenzo was too young to be, curedC) no cure had been found for ALD D) ALD was a rare disease42.

2006年职称英语考试理工类B级试题及答案（2）第3部分：概括大意与完成句子（第23～30题，每题1分，共8分）下面的短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2～5段每段1选择个最佳标题；（2）第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。
The Science of Sport1 At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens，the Chinese athlete Liu Xiang equaled theworld record for the 110 metres hurdles （跨栏） when he ran the race in 12.91 seconds. This record time had been set in 1993 by British sprinter （短跑运动员） Colin Jackson and 9 years went by before another athlete was able to run as fast.2 Record-breaking in all track events is slowing down and we appear to be moving much closer to the limits of human performance. Nevertheless，every four years，records which were previously thought to be unbeatab le are broken. So what’s behind this never-ending improvement in performance？And how long can we keep breaking records？Is there a limit to human performance or will athletes continue to gain seconds？3 Most experts agree that it isn’t the athletes’ bodie s which have changed but the huge advances in sport science which have enabled them to improve their performances. The individual athlete obviously has to have the necessary skill and determination to succeed，but the help of science and technology can be significant. Research has brought a better understanding of the athlete’s body and mind but the advances in sports equipment technology have also had an important impact on human performance.4 Scientists have shown that an athlete’s body’s needs vary according to the type of sport. This research has helped top sports people to adapt their training programme and diet better to their particular needs. Running the marathon and cycling， for example， are endurance （耐力） sports and require a different parathion （硝苯硫磷脂） to that of a 100-metre sprinter. In some sports，changes in techniques have significantly improved performance.5 But in any sport，a player’s success or failure results from a combination of both physical and mental abilities. Most coaches use psychological techniques to help their athletes cope with stress and concentrate on their performance. For example，the English football team listens to music in the changing rooms before a game to help the players relax and not feel so nervous. Before a difficult match， tennis players are encouraged to use visualization （相象） techniques to build confidence and this is almost as good as practice.6 But as science，begins to dominate sport，are we in danger of losing sight of the heart of the competition，the sporting challenge？What’s more，are all these advantages fair？23 Paragraph 2 .24 Paragraph 3 .25 Paragraph 4 .26 Paragraph 5 .A.Science may be too important today.B.Sports equipment has been improved a lot.C.Athletes are still breaking records.D.Sport science helps improve athletes’ performances.E.Mental training is as important as physical training.F.Different sports require different training programs.27 It is more difficult for today’s athletes.28 We don’t know if t here is a limit .29 Research has helped coaches .30 Scientific advances are suspected .A.to break recordsB.to better understand the athlete’s body and mindC.to time and spaceD.to be replacing the sporting challengeE. to human performanceF. to avoid psychological techniques第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）下面有3篇短文后有5道题。

Other than that, he seemed unhurt.Later, when Bartley recovered, he described his experience. He had been aware of being in the water. Then he was in darkness, sliding along a slimy passageway.

Sarah Nolan (Diane Lane) is a kindergarten teacher in her mid-thirties who is still dealing with the emotional aftermath of her divorce eight months ago. While her sisters, Christine (Ali Hillis) and Carol (Elizabeth Perkins), both think Sarah needs to start dating again, Sarah herself isn't so sure. Carol decides to force the issue by posting Sarah's photo and profile on an Internet dating site, and soon a number of seemingly eligible bachelors are sending her e-mails in hopes of a date. However, nearly every man she meets turns out to be a loser, with the exception of Jake (John Cusack), who is smart, good looking, and even brings along a dog for their walk in the park (though he doesn't tell her the pooch was borrowed for the occasion). However, Sarah also makes the acquaintance of Bob (Dermot Mulroney), the divorced father of one of her students, and she finds herself having to choose between two potentially worthwhile men. Meanwhile, Sarah's widowed father, Bill (Christopher Plummer), decides to give Internet dating a try, and lands himself a new steady （情侣）in Dolly (Stockard Channing). Must Love Dogs is based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Claire Cook.66. Must Love Dogs is a film about a woman who __________ __________ __________ into the __________ of __________ the__________ man.67. How long does the movie last?68.

Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage.Bright colors stir up a range of feelings. For example, the color red can cause people to feel excited. In fact, red can even make a person feel hungrier. Yellow can increase energy. Therefore, a room with strong red and yellow colors would be a good place to eat a lot of food quickly. On the other hand, darker colors, like blue can help people calm down. A blue room can be a good place to study, since people can concentrate more easily. However, it is easier to nod off in a blue room than in a red one.The colors of clothes can also affect feelings. Black and dark blue clothes can produce a sense of strength and seriousness. Therefore, a person in a black suit can seem like a leader more easily than one wearing white. If a person is wearing a dark suit and a red tie, he may seem both powerful and energetic. This may be why many politicians and businessmen wear dark suits with redties. Brown and green clothes can produce a sense of confidence. It may seem easier to trust a person wearing green. Therefore, many people wear green or brown for meetings or interviews.Choice of color, for rooms as well as clothes, is not only about appearance.Summary:Part VI Cloze (10 minutes, 15 points)Directions: There are 15 blanks in the passage.

(91)This may be because they haven't done their research properly and can't answer questions about the company they are hoping to join. Or it may be because they are nervous and don't perform well. Going for a job interview is never easy, whether it's for a full-time career, or a part-time job during the holidays. (92)However, it is possible to learn how to do well in an interview simply by following a few basic rules.Firstly, find out as much as you can about the company or the organization. Write notes about the job you are trying to get and make a list of questions you can ask. Then make sure you know exactly when and where the interview is. Look up the location on a map. (93)Find out about bus and train timetables if necessary and try to predict exactly how long the journey will take. If you are really worried, make the journey a few days before your interview so you can find out what you need in advance.(94)Another important rule is to plan what you are going to wear well in advance. Make sure it's clean, it fits and it's comfortable! Clean your shoes and sort out what you are taking in your bag or briefcase. All you should do the night before is have a quick lookat your notes. Go to bed early so you can get up in good time and calmly get yourself ready.(95) When you walk into the interview room look directly at your interviewers and shake hands with them. Finally, be calm and relaxed, and speak clearly.Section B Chinese-English Translation (5 points)Directions: Translate the following sentences(parts of the sentences) into English.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks ns you are instructed.Task 1People who work night shifts are constantly fighting against an "internal clock" in their bodies. Quite often the clock tells them to sleep when their job requires them to remain fullyawake. It's no wonder that more accidents happen during night shills than at any other time. Light therapy(照光治疗法) with a bright light box can help night-shift workers adjust their internal clock, However, many doctors recommend careful planning to help improve sleep patterns. For example, night-shift workers often find it difficult to sleep in the morning when they get off work because the body's natural rhythm(节律) fights back, no matter how tired they are. Some experts recommend that night-shift workers schedule two smaller sleep periods--one in the morning 'after work, and another longer one in the afternoon, closer to when the body would naturally need to sleep. It's also helpful to ask friends and family to cooperate by avoiding visits and phone calls during the times when you are sleeping.36. Night-shift workers are those who ______.A) have to rely on their internal clock B) need to re-adjust their clockC) fall asleep late at night D) have to work at night37.

The image most people have of President Abraham Lincoln is of a tall, thin, bearded man. Before he was elected President, however, Lincoln did not wear a beard. He grew his beard as the result of a letter he received from an eleven-year-old girl! In 1860, a clean-shaven Lincoln was running for the presidency. Grace Bedell of Westfield, New York, admired Lincoln very much, but she didn’t like the way he looked. Afraid that he migh t not win the election, Grace wrote him a letter stating that if Lincoln grew a beard, “You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin.” Lincoln wrote back to Grace, saying that if he started growing whiskers now, people might think it was a silly affectation done on purpose. The beardless Lincoln won the election—and he began to grow a beard shortly afterward! The next year, Lincoln visited Grace Bedell’s hometown and told the citizens that he had grown a beard because of a girl from the tow n. He asked to see Grace, and, to everyone’s delight, he gave the surprised girl a kiss!

Dr. Lulu Skidmore is technical director of the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai where Rama, the first cama in the world, was born. Cama’s mother is a llama from a Dubai zoo, her father is a camel from the Centre. Llamas, one-hump dromedaries or Arabian camels, and two-hump Bactrian camels belong to the Camelidae family. They have a common ancestor but now live in totally different places: camels live in dry hot places in the desert regions of Asia and Northern Africa and can live without water for several days. They have short ears and a short tail. Llamas live in the Andes in South America where temperatures can be -20° Celsius. They have long ears, a long tail and wool which protects them from the cold. They can walk in the mountains and carry heavy loads for 12 hours. Young Rama has physical characteristics from both parents: the long ears, long tail and prized wool of a llama, and the size of a camel. This is good news: it can give more wool. It is early days and there are many unanswered questions: can it live in mountains or only in deserts? Can it carry heavy loads and live without water for several days? The scientists are optimistic. They hope that it is fertile: that it can reproduce. If it can, the world has a new man-made, or rather woman-made, species,（分数：5.00）(1).

Over half of Africa is desert land. There are deserts in China and Latin America as well. The United States has deserts in the southwest part of the country. In some places, deserts are growing. This is a serious problem. Deserts destroy farmland. They also ruin land where animals live. When people cannot grow food or find animals to eat, they have to leave their homes. Deserts for different reasons. Sometimes nature causes this problem. Wind can move sand away from deserts and onto useful land. When there is no rain for a long time many plants can die. However, humans can also cause deserts to grow. This is called desertification. This happens in many ways. One way is when people cause too much air pollution, which can make an area: Hotter weather can reduce the amount of rain. Also, too many people in one area can damage the land. Especially if they have many animals, their animals can also harm the land. When large animals like cows walk on soil too much, they turn it into dust. The wind easily blows this dust away. Trees help hold water in the ground. When people cut down too many trees, the water goes away and the soil is ruined. Plants may stop growing in these places. All of these things can speed up desertification. To stop deserts from growing, people must thinkThere are deserts all around the world. Deserts are getting bigger in some places.

Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check. (92)Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. (93)As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.” Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of (受……支配) an unsympathetic breeze. It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last” free to lie powerless in th e dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction. How much like kites we sometimes are. (94)The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. (95)Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________正确答案：(在一个有风的春日，我看到一群年轻人正在迎着风放风筝，他们玩得很开心。
