英语卫生类A级概括大意模拟题

English and English Community

1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language.The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese.

2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up the community share a common language.Often they live side by side， as they do in a neighborhood （街坊），a village，or a city.More often they form a whole country.National boundaries，however，are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.

3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.For convenience（方便），we may divide the speakers into two groups： one in which the speakers use English as their native language， the other in which the speakers 1earn English as a second language for the purpose of education，commerce，and so on.

4 Learning a second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind.The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional（虚构的）lives of people and their culture;a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel.Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.

篇2：职称英语卫生类A级概括大意预测题

Friendly Relations with the People Around

1 You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness (归属) that you must have to feel secure. But， in fact， the members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to give that feeling to them. A person

who shows that he wants everything for himself is bound (一定的) to be a lonely wolf.

2 The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted that there always will be people

around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point， however， is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them.

3 Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don‘t know them. When the game is over， you will all go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling

of companionship， of sharing the feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win.

4 An experience of this kind gives the clue (线索) to what companionship really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy， understanding， trust， and affection. Companions become friends when ihese ties are formed.

5 When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances (熟人)， you may not know with whom you will make friends， but you can be sure that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that you really like people.

1. Paragraph 2 ________。

2. Paragraph 3 ________。

3. Paragraph 4 ________。

4. Paragraph 5 ________。

A Making friends with new acquaintances

B Close link between companionship and belongingness

C How to satisfy other people’s needs

DAn example of a satisfying relationship

E Difficulties in establishing friendships

F What companionship really is

5. If you had no one to share your feelings， your life would be______________.

6. The warm feeling of belongingness may give you______________.

7. The ability to establish fine relations with others will keep you______________.

8. You will find it hard to make friends with people______________.

A without pity

B sad and lonely

C emotionally healthy

D without real love for them /

E a sense of security

F a lonely wolf

答案

1. B 2. D 3. F 4. A 5. B 6. E 7. C 8. D

篇3：职称英语卫生类概括大意练习题

Compact Disks

1 If someone says to you your music CDs don't really hold any music on them,and they only have numbers recorded on them,you may not believe it.In fact,he is right in that sound is actually recorded onto the CDs as special numbers ― a digital code.1 The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps on a long spiral track almost five kilometerslong.These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns wide.

2 A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns.The light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces back.This lets the CD player2 turn the reflected light back into the original code.This means you can hear the original code as music.

3 Digital codes are used with many technologies.E-mail needs these kinds of code numbers.Space probes communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes.Bar codes are read as digital codes in computer systems.Digital communications with cell phones need digital codes.Weather radios also tune in to specific signals using these codes.

4 There are many types of compact disk.One format is called CD-RWs.They can be recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on) as you would do with a floppy disk3.Another format is the CD-ROM.The technology for recording on these disks is different from other CDs.These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear.The clear and dark spots are the digital code.CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc ― Read Only

Memory.4 This disk is like a“super”floppy disk that can hold lots of information.One CD-ROM can hold the same amount of data as 500 floppy disks.Information is permanently recorded onto it.Computer games and other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs.

5 CDs were first sold to the public in 1982.These CDs still play well and sound fine.Current CDs are expectedto last between 70 to 200 years.Of course,you can make sure your CDs last a long time by taking care of them.

6 Science keeps on developing.It may not be many more years before a completely new technology is invented5 and introduced to the public for music recording.In the meantime,there is no doubt you will continue to enjoy listening to your favorite music on CDs6 and playing your favorite computer games on CD-ROMs.

练习：

1.Paragraphs 1 & 2__________

2.Paragraph 3__________

3.Paragraph 4__________

4.Paragraph 5__________

A Digital Code Has Wide Applications

B Floppy Disks Are Outdated

C CDs Are Durable

D CD's Working Principle Is Explained

E CD-RWs Play Better Than CD-ROWs

F CDs Are of Many Formats

5.One advantage of CD-RWs is that they can like floppy disks.

6.The author predicts it will not before a new technology is invented for music recording.

7.The laser beam-emitting device and the receiver are considered to of a CD player.

8.Space probes could not without using digital codes.

A shine on bumps

B take many more years

C be the key parts

D restore the original code

E be written on and rewritten on

F keep contact with their ground station efficiently

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70～2。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。

篇4：职称英语卫生类概括大意试题

Messages from the Media

1 The weather forecast, a story about the candidates in an election, and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media. A communication medium, of which the plural （复数的） form is media, is a means of communicating a message. Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media.

2 It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about advertisements, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Advertisements are important messages, even though they are sometimes annoying. They help us compare and evaluate products.

3 Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events. Do you depend on other people or the media? What about international news? What is the most important source of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, “Television.”

4 Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on billboards （露天广告牌 on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning? Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication-a book.

5 We use the information we get from radio, television, newspapers, and other media to make decisions and form opinions. That is why the mass media are so important. Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote, consumer reports on television help us decide how to spend our money, and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace.

1 Paragraph 2__________.

2 Paragraph 3__________.

3 Paragraph 4__________.

4 Paragraph 5__________.

A Importance of Classroom Learning

B Television —— A Rich Source of Information

C Advertisements as Important Messages from the Mass Media

D Various Messages One May Receive Each Day

E Media —— Means to Communicate Messages

Stanford University

Stanford University,famous as one of northern California s several institutions of higher learning,is sometimes called “the Harvard of the West.” The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco,a city thirty-two miles to the north,gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan flavor.

The students are enrolled mainly from the western United State.But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford,and many foreign students study here,as well.And standards for admission remain high.Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.

Not only because of the high caliber of its students but also because of the desirable location and climate,Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world s most respected scholars.The university staff has included many Nobel Prize winners such as Dr.Felix Bloch,Dr.Robert Hofstadter,and Dr.William Shockley in physics,Dr.Author Kornberg and Dr.Joshua Lederberg in medicine,and Dr.Paul J.Flory and Dr.Linus Pauling in chemistry.The Russian novelist Aleksander Solzhenistsyn has been in residence.Stanford s undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business,law,and medicine are especially well-regarded.

What is student life like on “The Farm”? Culturally,the campus is a magnet for both students and citizens of nearby communities.Plays,concerts,and operas are performed in the university s several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater,where graduations are also held.Several film series are presented during the school year.Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus.In the evenings,many students gather to socialize in the Student Union s coffee house; here the beverages an the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor.For the sports-minded,the Stanford campus offer highly developed athletic facilities.Team sports,swimming,and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture.So are bicycling and jogging.

In addition to financial support from alumni,Stanford receives grants from the government and from private philanthropic foundations.In recent years,government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history,psychology,education,and atomic energy.At presents Stanford is carrying out an ambitions building program,financed in part by the Ford Foundation s 25 million grant.Recently added to the campus are a new physics building,new school of business,new graduate school of law,new student union,and undergraduate library.

Transport and Trade

Transport is one of the aids to trade.By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce,transport adds to their value.The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer,the better for trade.When there were no railways,no good roads,no canals,and only small sailing ships,trade was on a small scale.

The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade.Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand,for instance.Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business,drawing supplies from,and selling goods to,all parts of the globe.Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes.Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes.Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.

Transport also prevents waste.Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns.Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally.Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year.Transport has raised the standard of living.

By moving fuel,raw materials,and even power,as,for example,through electric cables,transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before.Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another.The cheaper and quicker transport becomes,the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried.Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living.

Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information.Means of communication,like telephones,cables and radio,send information about prices,supplies,and changing conditions in different parts of the world.In this way,advanced communication systems also help to develop trade.

篇8：职称英语卫生类A级语法考点

一、名词或代词作主语时和谓语之间的单复数的一致问题：

1.谓语和谓语基本保持单复数的一致，即：主语是可数名词单数或不可数名词时，谓语动词用单数形式：如：The computer was a great invention.(计算机是个了不起的发明)The water in the glass is very cold.(玻璃杯里的水很冷)

2.集体名词(如family,class,team,group,row,police,school等)做句子主语时，

① 如果表示整体概念，则谓语用单数形式，如：Class Three is a very good class.(三班是好班)

② 如果表示其中的所有成员时，则谓语用复数形式，如：Class Three have a map of China.(三班有张中国地图)

3.Chinese,Japanese,fish,sheep,people等表示单个时谓语用单数，表示许多时，谓语用复数。如：There is a sheep in the yard.(院子里有只绵羊)/ There are some sheep in the yard.(院子里有一些绵羊)

4.maths,news等虽然有s结尾，但不是复数，因此谓语仍用单数：The news is very exciting.(这个消息令人兴奋)

5.glasses,shoes,socks,trousers,gloves等名词往往用复数形式，故谓语用复数。如：

The trousers are very cheap and I want to take them.(裤子很便宜，我想买)

6.a lot of 后跟名词复数时谓语用复数形式，跟不可数名词时谓语用单数形式。如：A lot of students are playing baseball now.(现在有许多学生在打垒球) A lot of time was wasted on that work.(大量的时间花在了那个工作上)(被动句)

7.and 连接两个名词做主语时，谓语原则上用复数，但是两个名词若构成一个整体事物时，谓语则用单数。如：The teacher and his son are picking apples now.(老师和他的儿子在摘苹果)/ Fish and chips is very famous food.(鱼和薯条是一种出名的食品)

8. there be 句型中be的单复数一般由靠近的名词决定。如：There is a table and four chairs in the room.(房间里有一张桌子和四张椅子)

9.用both…and…连接两个事物做主语时，谓语一般用复数。如：Both you and I are required to be here tomorrow.(你和我明天要求都来)

10.主语中含有with的短语时，谓语单复数由with之前的人物决定。如：A woman with a 7-year-old child was standing at the side of the road.(一名妇女带着一个七岁的孩子(当时)就站在路边)

11.either…or…或者 neither…nor…连接两个人物做句子主语时，谓语采用就近原则。如：Either you or he is right.(要么是你对，要么是他对。/你和他有一个人是对的)/ Neither you nor I am going there.(你和我都不打算去那里)

12.表示一段时间或长度概念的复数名词做主语时，谓语一般用单数。如：Two months is not a short time.(两个月不是个短时间)Two thousand kilometers is quite a long distance(距离)(两千千米是相当长的一段距离)

13.主语中含有half of…/(three quarters)of…/ all(of) the …。等词语时，谓语的单复数由名词确定，如：Over three quarters of the information on the Internet is in English.(因特网上四分之三以上的信息是用英语写的)/ A third of the students were playing near the lake.(学生的三分之一(当时)正在湖边玩耍)/ All of the water in these rivers has been polluted.(这些河流中的水已经被污染了)(被动句)

但是，population一词又有特殊情况： What’s the population of China?(中国人口是多少?)(句子用单数)/ Three quarters of the population in this city are Arabs(阿拉伯人)(这个城市四分之三的人口是阿拉伯人)(句子用复数)

二、部分名词用法辨析：

1.sport、game、match、race 的区别：sport通常指“户外运动”，以锻炼为主，概念较大;game意思是“运动、比赛”，不管户内户外还是脑力体力，指以胜负为主的运动;match意为“竞赛、比赛”，多指正式比赛;race主要表示“赛跑、赛马、赛车”。如：People all around the world enjoy sports.(全世界的人都喜爱运动)/ The Olympic Games will be held in Beijing.(2008奥运会将在北京举行)(被动句)/ Our school football team won the league match(联赛)(我们学校足球队取得了联赛冠军)/ They were strong and won the boat race.(汤他们很棒，赢得了划艇比赛)

3.journey、tour、trip、travel的区别：journey指在陆地上(或海上或空中)进行的长途旅行，不知终点，含有辛苦的意思;tour指途中作短期逗留的巡回旅行，强调游览多处，常用来指观光等;trip通常指往返定时的短途旅行，如出差度假等;travel多指长期或长途的观光旅行，尤其指到国外，没有明确目的地，也作不可数名词，指旅行这一行为。如：He made up his mind to make the journey to Dunhuang.(他拿定主意要去敦煌旅行)/ He has gone on a walking tour.(他步行观光去了)/ He took several trips to Shanghai last yeaar.(去年他去了上海好几次)/ Did you go to Santiago(圣地亚哥) during your travels?(旅行期间你去圣地亚哥了吗?)/ Travelling through thick forests is dangerous.(在密林里边穿行是很危险的)

4.sound、noise、voice的区别：sound指各种声音;noise主要指“噪音”;voice指人的“嗓音”。如：The noise of the street kept me awake in the night.(街上的喧嚣声让我彻夜难眠)/ All of a sudden there was the sound of shots and a cry.(突然间传来几声枪响和一声尖叫)/ The singer has lost her ringing voice as a result of a bad cold.(因为感冒的缘故，这个歌唱家失去了她银铃般的嗓音)
