美國工業英語閱讀理解

A. 求一篇英語閱讀理解 開頭是In the United States，第一段講的是美國人生下來窮的，通過自己的努力

原文：
In the United States,30 percent of the alt population has a"weight problem.Some people think the reason is clear-----they eat too much. But the scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910. We can find that people were thinner than today, but they ate more food than us. In those days people worked harder, walked more ,used machines less and didn't watch TV.
Several modern studies ,such as a study of 3545 London office workers in 1979, report that fat people eat less than thin people .
Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by a group a t stanford University found the following interesting fact:
The more the men run , the more their body fat lost.
The more they run , the more food they need.
Those who run the most eat the more, and lose the most body fat.

B. 一篇英語閱讀理解,美國數學的現狀

第一篇 1D 2C 3B 4A 5B 第二篇 1B 2B 3A 4C 5C
小小地翻譯了一下，直觀，便於幫助思考。有些地方用的意譯。 現今，書寫還有實際作用嗎？我們真的需要嗎？很多教育學家做出了肯定回答。 書寫很重要，因為研究顯示，當孩子們被告知如何做的同時，他們也被告知如何去學習、去表達他們自己。一份由SteveGraham作出的研究顯示，書寫流暢的（嗯？書寫流暢？）學生能寫出更優秀的作業並獲得更高的分數。 「書寫是學習的一大基本技能，」，EmilyKnapton，一位專家說到。她相信，「當孩子們書寫有問題的時候，也會同樣影響其他所有科目。拼寫成為了一個難題，數學也成了一個難題。如果他們的書寫有進步，上述這兩個問題（原文是subject主題此為意譯，指的是「書寫有問題也會影響其他科目的學習」和「拼寫和數學成為難題」這兩個主題。）對這些孩子們來說也會更容易一些。 流暢、快速的書寫非常重要。Graham的研究也顯示了從幼兒園到4年級的孩子們思考、書寫是同時進行的。如果他們不得不為如何拼寫而煩惱（原文是struggle，掙扎，此為意譯。），他們表達自我的能力也會大打折扣（原文是suffer遭受、受難，此為意譯。）。StephenPevely，一位教育學家說：「從小學學生的書寫速度來看，我們就能知曉他們在初中的書寫的質量和數量。」 預測中的書寫的結束（應該是指書寫變差）並不是始於電腦的；他們追溯到雷明頓在1873年推出（原文是proctions名詞的介紹但是打字機不是雷明頓發明的他只是買到了專利權）的打字機。但是對於至少一代人來說，書寫似乎更加不重要了。現在，由於新的研究的支持，教育家們正試圖把書寫的獨特的重要性重新帶回課堂。 前三題確定無疑，是C、D、A。至於第四題到底是A還是C，最後一題到底是A還是D呢，我也拿不準。當初我讀高中的時候也最討厭這樣的題目，我的觀點始終是這樣的題目絕對是胡鬧了，咱們又不是來做邏輯推斷題考心理來了，卻老是喜歡把選項出的這么模稜兩可。 第四題的A是說「被很強烈的影響著」，C項是說「被嚴重影響」，但是我覺得意思上沒區別啊！本人傾向於C，因為副詞badly。 第五題的A是說「孩子們的書寫對他們的學習有著有益的影響」，D項是「打字機出現後書寫就完蛋了（意思是打字機出現使人們的書寫能力變差）」，從全文來看，我也覺得兩者貌似都有觀點支持，所以都不能算錯；只是由於BC是原文有提到所以判斷為一定正確，那麼A、D兩個這么模稜兩可的選項怎麼選呢？其實我也覺得最後那段從「但是」開始的那句話和前面的銜接有點問題，如果你不是打錯了，那我就真為難了。A項我認為正確的原因是原文提到「當孩子們書寫有問題的時候，也會同樣影響其他所有科目。拼寫成為了一個難題，數學也成了一個難題」，這句話的反義就是「書寫對他們的學習有著友誼的影響。」不是嗎？反正這里看你自己怎麼認為了。 你自己多看幾遍原文，我的翻譯只供參考，大錯是保證沒有的，放心好了。小錯也理應不會有。只能看你自己如何理解那些奇怪的選項了。

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn』t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆蟲) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收獲)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you』ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液體) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
( )56.From the passage we learn that locusts________.
A. are small animals
B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies
D. change their colours to protect themselves
( )57.How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?
A. They run away quickly.
B. They have the colours much like their enemies.
C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night.
D. They have to move quietly.
( )58.Bears and lions can keep safe because________.
A. they have the colours much like the trees
B. they move quietly
C. they like brown and grey colours
D. they live in forests
( )59.Why can the kind of fish live up to now?
A. Because it is very big and strong.
Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.
B. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
C. Because it swims faster than any other fish.

例1、The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be proced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to make profits, proce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are proced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of indivial consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of indivials to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be proced and how resources are used to proce it.
An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by procers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-procers. If the proct is in short supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, procing more of a commodity results in recing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-procers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the proct. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.
The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that indivials are allowed to own proctive resources(private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and proce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of proctive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a proct or to make a free contract with another private indivial.

54．The passage is mainly about .(1994)
(A) how American goods are proced
(B) how American consumers buy their goods.
(C) how American economic system works
(D) how American businessmen make their profits

解析：
第一步：判斷本題目屬於中心思想題；因此進入中心思想題的解題方法；
第二步：閱讀文章首、末段首、末句4句話，使用剝洋蔥式句子結構分析法得知這個4句話的意思（限於篇幅的原因我們就不一一翻譯了）；翻譯後我們發現，即使翻譯為中文我們還是不知道文章的論點是什麼。因此進入第2解題的思維：找最佳答案；
第三步：A選項是原文講到的選項，原文第一段最後一句話說that together determine what shall be proced and how resources are used to proce it，因此A是正確的，但是我們不能立刻就選A，因為我們在找最佳答案，既然是最佳就要有4個選項的比較，完全有可能4個選項都是正確的，但是只能選擇一個；B選項是原文第一段最後一句講到的，the desire of indivials to maximize their incomes，因此B也是正確的，符合原文意思的；C選項原文四句話都講到了，但是美國經濟模式的運作的范圍很顯然大於這個4句話的范圍。D選項在原文第一段的最後一句也講到了desire of businessmen to maximize profits，因此D也是正確符合原文意思的。4個選項都是正確的，但是不同的是A、B和D只是在原文的第一段的最後一句講到了，很顯然C選項概括了4句話的全部內容，因此因該選擇C。

例2、One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the 「cashless society」 is not on the horizon-it's already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which procts to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the proction process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
58. What is this passage mainly about? (1994)
(A) Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
(B) conveniences brought about by computers in business.
(C) Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.
(D) Advantages of credit cards in business.

第二步：閱讀文章首、末段首、末句4句話，使用剝洋蔥式句子結構分析法得知這個4句話的意思（限於篇幅的原因我們就不一一翻譯了）；翻譯後我們發現，即使翻譯為中文我們還是不知道文章的論點是什麼。因此進入第2解題的思維：找最佳答案；
第三步：A的意思是電腦的商業使用的方法，文章在最後一段講到了電腦的商業使用的問題，因此A是符合原文意思的；B的意思是商業中電腦帶來的便利，原文講到了B選項，明顯的證明是bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers，所以B也是正確並符合原文意思的；C的意思是自動化在商業企業中的重要性，文章4句話沒有講到自動化的問題，更沒有講到什麼重要性，因此C是和原文無關的選項；D的意思是商業中信用卡的重要性，文章在第一段的第一句話就講到了信用卡，但是沒有講到信用卡的重要性，因此D也是無關選項；因此這個題目的答案必然在A和B中產生。這個時候我們應該比較A和B有什麼不同的地方。我們發現A強調的是「方法Approaches」而B強調的是「便利conveniences 」，很顯然文章著重講解的是電腦帶來的便利，因此這個題目應該選B；

例3、Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full alt potential, their ecation must be adapted to those differences.
Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding-the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
Ecation in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public ecation over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
「All men are created equal.」 We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for ecation in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies ecational opportunity for all children-the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate ecation, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that ecation. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
61. This passage mainly deals with . (1994)
(A) the differences of children in their learning capabilities
(B) the definition of exceptional children in modern society
(C) the special ecational programs for exceptional children
(D) the necessity of adapting ecation to exceptional children

第三步：A的意思是孩子在學習能力上的不同，但是文章的4句話並沒有講到學習能力的問題，因此是無關選項；B的意思是例外的孩子（弱智兒童）在現代社會的定義，文章4句話雖然講到了exceptional children，但是並沒有給它下定義，因此也是無關選項；C的意思是針對exceptional children的特別的項目，文章在最後一段講到了這個問題；D的意思是調整教育以適應那些exceptional children的必要性，文章也講到了；因此答案必然在C和D中產生，那就比較它們的不同，發現一個強調項目，一個強調必要性，而文章的4句話是強調必要性的多一點，因此應該選D；

例4、Scattered around the globe are more than 100 small regions of isolated volcanic activity known to geologists as hot spots. Unlike most of the world's volcanoes, they are not always found at the boundaries of the great drifting plates that make up the earth's surface; on the contrary, many of them lie deep in the interior of a plate. Most of the hot spots move only slowly, and in some cases the movement of the plates past them has left trails of dead volcanoes. The hot spots and their trails are milestones that mark the passage of the plates.
That the plates are moving is now beyond dispute. Africa and South America, for example, are moving away from each other as new material is injected into the sea floor between them. The complementary coastlines and certain geological features that seem to span the ocean are reminders of where the two continents were once joined. The relative motion of the plates carrying these continents has been constructed in detail, but the motion of one plate with respect to another cannot readily be translated into motion with respect to the earth's interior. It is not possible to determine whether both continents are moving in opposite directions or whether one continent is stationary and the other is drifting away from it. Hot spots, anchored in the deeper layers of the earth, provide the measuring instruments needed to resolve the question. From an analysis of the hot-spot population it appears that the African plate is stationary and that it has not moved ring the past 30 million years.
The significance of hot spots is not confined to their role as a frame of reference. It now appears that they also have an important influence on the geophysical processes that propel the plates across the globe. When a continental plate come to rest over a hot spot, the material rising from deeper layer creates a broad dome. As the dome grows, it develops seed fissures (cracks); in at least a few cases the continent may break entirely along some of these fissures, so that the hot spot initiates the formation of a new ocean. Thus just as earlier theories have explained the mobility of the continents, so hot spots may explain their mutability (inconstancy).
20. The passage is mainly about . (1998)
(A) the features of volcanic activities
(B) the importance of the theory about drifting plates
(C) the significance of hot spots in geophysical studies
(D) the process of the formation of volcanoes

第三步：A的意思是火山運動的特徵，該4句論點句並沒有講到這個問題，因此屬於無關選項；B的意思是漂流板塊理論的重要性，4句論點句也沒有談到漂流板塊的問題，同A；C的意思是 hot spots在地球物理學研究中的重要性，文章講到了hot spots的重要性，那麼講到地球物理學了嗎？其實火山運動不就是地球物理學的一部分嗎？因此看一個選項講到沒有，不應該僅僅看有沒有一樣的單詞文章中出現沒有，而且還要看相近意思的單詞或句子出現沒有，因此C是符合原文意思的正確選項，但是不能立刻選擇，因為我們找的是最佳答案；D的意思是火山構成的過程，雖然這個4句話講到了火山，但是沒有談及火山構成過程的問題，屬於無關選項；因此這個題目應該選C；

凱里科隆沿著學校的操場，面帶微笑的跑完了二十圈。一年以後，九歲的男孩說，跑步讓他感覺享受從中門跳了下去一樣。
「但是，現在，我能夠跑二十圈了，然而，我一點也不感覺到累，」凱里說道。
二十圈是一個魔法的數字，因為，它是一公里的距離。凱里是20000個紐約城市的學生之一，通過紐約的跑步基金會成立的一個跑步節目，目標是讓孩子們跑起來。
節目，用來幫助那些體重超重的孩子們，大於100個紐約城市裡學校里，和20所學校們，和別的國家聯合起來舉辦的比賽。孩子們每次，跑完26英里，一次馬拉松，將會贏得獎章和證書。在紐約的城市裡，一個健康的部門調查發現，在公共小學里，符合健康體重的學生，只有百分之53。超重的孩子們是比那些減肥者有著更高比例的變成成年後，更加肥胖的成年人，其中，包括的問題有，心臟病和糖尿病的發病率。
政府已經開始重視這些方面的一些問題的方法，已經有了舉措。「當孩子們健康的時候，調查是非常清晰的，然後，當你為他們提供了聚會的時候，他們就會變得更加的健康的時候，這時候，就它增加了他們的平時的功課的成績，」一個官員說道。
每年，節目的成本在每個孩子50美元，包括T恤衫的價格和在學校里的體能訓練方面的成果。
瑪瑞亞，卡覺道文，一個體能教育的老師，詢問了她的幫助者，數他們的跑步圈數，當他們在操場上跑步的時候。當他們完成了20圈的跑步，他們將會做一些跳繩的運動和仰卧起坐。
九歲的拉羅安傑說道，「我們之前沒有這么多的活動。我們從不做俯卧撐和仰卧起坐。但是，現在，這些體育運動，讓我自己感覺更好了。
