  职称英语阅读真题练习 1

  When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, theyre usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.

  Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy ( 树冠) of taller indigenous ( 土生土长的 ) trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees. With increased production come increased profits.

  Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat.Native birds nest and hide from predators ( 捕食者 ) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.

  Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.

  Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and"bird friendly."Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But were paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think its worth it.

  31. What is the main idea of this passage?

  A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.

  B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.

  C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee.

  D. People should buy shade-grown coffee.

  32. The function of the word "Traditionally" in Paragraph 2 is to show __________.

  A. the positive effects of coffee

  B. a change of coffee growth

  C. something that is the most important

  D. how coffee production used to be

  33. What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?

  A. More insects.

  B. Better quality coffee.

  C. Larger farms.

  D. Higher profits.

  34. How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?

  A. They buy more land from other farmers.

  B. They cut down trees.

  C. They move to another country.

  D. They turn grassland into farmland.

  35. The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT __________.

  A. insects

  B. air

  C. birds

  D. humans.

  答案与解析

  31.A。主旨题。题干:这篇文章的大意为__________。从各段的首尾旬来看,第二段至第四段谈论的是向阳种植咖啡的弊端,第五段谈的是人们开始在向阴的地方种植咖啡,由此可以看出人们种植咖啡的方式发生了改变,所以该题答案为A(农民们正在改变他们种植咖啡的方式。)

  32.B。细节题。题干:第二段中“Traditionally”一词的功能是为了说明__________。利用题目关键词定位到第二段的`首句,从中可知“传统上,咖啡树被种植在高大的树的树冠之下”,后一句“但是,拉美地区越来越多的农民砍伐森林来种植完全向阳的咖啡树”,由此可知前后句就咖啡树的种植方式形成对比,因此traditionally是为了说明过去与现在种植方式的不同,因而答案为B(咖啡种植的改变)。选项D具有较大的迷惑性,但是第一句和第二句谈论的是咖啡的种植,而非咖啡的生产。

  33.D。细节题。题干:向阳种植的咖啡产量增加导致了什么?利用题干关键词increased production可以定位到第二段最后一句,可知产量的增加带来了利润的增加,故D(高的利润)为正确答案。

  34.B。细节题。题干:农民如何找到更多的地来向阳种植咖啡?利用题干关键词find more land可以定位到第二段的第二旬,可知越来越多的拉美人正在砍伐森林来种植咖啡树,故B(他们将树砍到)为正确答案。

  35.B。细节题。题干:向阳种植咖啡的方法可能对下列__________之外都有影响。分别定位四个选项可以定位到第三和四段,如第三段提到因为种植咖啡树,本地的鸟类赖以筑巢和躲避捕食者的树木被砍掉了,第四段提到化肥和杀虫剂杀死了昆虫或使其致病,而鸟类吃了这些中毒的昆虫而死亡,因化学物质而死或致病的动物则将毒性带入了人们饮水的水域中,所以可见昆虫、鸟类和人类都受到了影响,故本题答案为B(空气)。

  职称英语阅读真题练习 2

  Young female chimps are faster and better learners than young male chimps, suggests a new study, echoing learning differences seen in human girls and boys.

  While young male chimps pass their time playing. Young female chimps carefully study their mothers. As a result, they learn how to fish for tasty termite snacks over two years before the boys.

  Elizabeth Lonsdorf, now at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, US, and colleagues at the University of Minnesota, Saint Paul spent four years watching how young chimpanzees in the Gombe National Park in Tanzania learned “cultural behavior”.

  The sex differences in learning behavior were “consistent and strikingly apparent”, says the team. The researchers point out that similar differences are seen in human children with regard to skills such as writing. “A sex-based learning differences may therefore date back at least to the last common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans.” they write in the journal Nature.

  Chimps make flexible tools from vegetation and then them into termite mounds, extract them and then munch the termites clinging onto the tool. The researchers used video cameras to record this feeding behavior and found that each chimp mother had her own technique, such as how she used tools of different lengths.

  Analysis of the six infants whose ages were known showed that girl chimps were an average of 31 months old when they succeeded in fishing out their termites, where the boy chimps were aged 58 months on average. Females were also more skillful at getting out more termites with every dip and used techniques similar to their mothers while males did not.

  Instead of studying their mothers, the boy chimps spent a significantly greater amount of time frolicking around the termite mound. Behaviors such as playing or swinging might help the male infants later in life when typically male activities like hunting or fighting for dominance become important, suggest the researchers.

  Lonsdorf adds that there just two main sources of animal protein for chimps — the termites or colobus monkeys. “Mature males often hunt monkeys up trees, but females are almost always either pregnant or burdened with a clinging infant. This makes hunting difficult,” she says .“Adult females spend more time fishing for termites than males.” So becoming proficient at termite fishing could mean adult females eat better, “They can watch their offspring at the same time. The young of both sexes seen to pursue activities related to their adult sex roles{10} at a very young age.”

  练习:

  1. Why do young female chimps learn faster than young male chimps at fishing for termites? A Because young female chimps don’t play with their brothers. B Because young female chimps begin to study their mothers earlier. C Because young male chimps never learn to fish for termites. D Because young male chimps are not interested in termites.

  2. What are the tools with which chimps fish for termites? A Tree branches. B Vegetation. C Fruits. D Grass.

  3. Which of the Following is true about chimps fishing for termites according to paragraph 6? A Males often compete with females in fishing for termites. B Males could get out more termites with every dip. C Females could get out more termites with every dip. D Males are good at mastering technique for fishing for termites.

  4. How did the researchers explain the fact that boy chimps spent more time on playing? A They like hunting. B They enjoy fighting. C It helps them to stay fit. D It will make them good fighters and hunters in the future.

  5. According to the last paragrnph, which of the following is NOT true? A Adult chimps hunt monkeys while young chimps fish for termites. B The main source of animal protein for male chimps is colobus monkeys. C The main source of animal protein for female chimps is termites. D Female chimps fish for termites while watching their children.

  答案与题解 :

  1. B 根据第二段的内容,雄性小猩猩将时间用来玩要,而雌性小猩猩则研究她们母亲的行为,因此,她们比雄性小猩猩早两年学会捕食白蚁。 A、D文中没有提到, C与问题没有关系。

  2. B第五段的第一个句子告诉我们,猩猩用植物作成方便的工具,用来捕食白蚁。 A、C和 D均是错误的。

  3. C 该段告诉我们,对六只小猩猩的分析表明,雌性小猩狠不但较早学会捕食白蚁 .而且能比雄性小猩猩更为熟练地捕食到更多的白蚁。所以, B和 D都不是正确选项。 A项内容文中没有提到。

  4. D A、B和 C都是错误的,因为文中没有捉到雄性小猩猩喜欢猎食和打斗,也没有提及玩耍能使他们更健康。D是正确答案。第七段昀后一句说,他们喜欢玩耍的行为有助于他们长大后的生活,因为,到那时,他们要猎食和争权夺位。

  5. A 根据昀后一段的内容,成年雄猩猩主要猎食生活在树上的'一种叫做 colobus(疣猴)的猴子,而雌性猩猩捕食白蚁。所以 A是正确选项。 B、C和 D的内容均可在该段中找到。

  职称英语阅读真题练习 3

  Long before the white man came to the America, the land belonged to the American Indian nations. The nation of the Cherokees lived in What is now the southeastern part of the United States.

  After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible-there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using this own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper.

  In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?

  The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into the western territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died. It was indeed a march of death.

  B) Send the army to help the Cherokees.

  C) Force the Cherokees to move westward.

  D) Forbid the Cherokees to read their newspaper.

  B) They went on horseback.

  C) They marched on foot.
