美国工业英语阅读理解

A. 求一篇英语阅读理解 开头是In the United States，第一段讲的是美国人生下来穷的，通过自己的努力

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. 一篇英语阅读理解,美国数学的现状

第一篇 1D 2C 3B 4A 5B 第二篇 1B 2B 3A 4C 5C
小小地翻译了一下，直观，便于帮助思考。有些地方用的意译。 现今，书写还有实际作用吗？我们真的需要吗？很多教育学家做出了肯定回答。 书写很重要，因为研究显示，当孩子们被告知如何做的同时，他们也被告知如何去学习、去表达他们自己。一份由SteveGraham作出的研究显示，书写流畅的（嗯？书写流畅？）学生能写出更优秀的作业并获得更高的分数。 “书写是学习的一大基本技能，”，EmilyKnapton，一位专家说到。她相信，“当孩子们书写有问题的时候，也会同样影响其他所有科目。拼写成为了一个难题，数学也成了一个难题。如果他们的书写有进步，上述这两个问题（原文是subject主题此为意译，指的是“书写有问题也会影响其他科目的学习”和“拼写和数学成为难题”这两个主题。）对这些孩子们来说也会更容易一些。 流畅、快速的书写非常重要。Graham的研究也显示了从幼儿园到4年级的孩子们思考、书写是同时进行的。如果他们不得不为如何拼写而烦恼（原文是struggle，挣扎，此为意译。），他们表达自我的能力也会大打折扣（原文是suffer遭受、受难，此为意译。）。StephenPevely，一位教育学家说：“从小学学生的书写速度来看，我们就能知晓他们在初中的书写的质量和数量。” 预测中的书写的结束（应该是指书写变差）并不是始于电脑的；他们追溯到雷明顿在1873年推出（原文是proctions名词的介绍但是打字机不是雷明顿发明的他只是买到了专利权）的打字机。但是对于至少一代人来说，书写似乎更加不重要了。现在，由于新的研究的支持，教育家们正试图把书写的独特的重要性重新带回课堂。 前三题确定无疑，是C、D、A。至于第四题到底是A还是C，最后一题到底是A还是D呢，我也拿不准。当初我读高中的时候也最讨厌这样的题目，我的观点始终是这样的题目绝对是胡闹了，咱们又不是来做逻辑推断题考心理来了，却老是喜欢把选项出的这么模棱两可。 第四题的A是说“被很强烈的影响着”，C项是说“被严重影响”，但是我觉得意思上没区别啊！本人倾向于C，因为副词badly。 第五题的A是说“孩子们的书写对他们的学习有着有益的影响”，D项是“打字机出现后书写就完蛋了（意思是打字机出现使人们的书写能力变差）”，从全文来看，我也觉得两者貌似都有观点支持，所以都不能算错；只是由于BC是原文有提到所以判断为一定正确，那么A、D两个这么模棱两可的选项怎么选呢？其实我也觉得最后那段从“但是”开始的那句话和前面的衔接有点问题，如果你不是打错了，那我就真为难了。A项我认为正确的原因是原文提到“当孩子们书写有问题的时候，也会同样影响其他所有科目。拼写成为了一个难题，数学也成了一个难题”，这句话的反义就是“书写对他们的学习有着友谊的影响。”不是吗？反正这里看你自己怎么认为了。 你自己多看几遍原文，我的翻译只供参考，大错是保证没有的，放心好了。小错也理应不会有。只能看你自己如何理解那些奇怪的选项了。

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(痒) 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(昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获)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(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人) 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.
( )60.Which is the best title for this passage?

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：判断本题目属于中心思想题；因此进入中心思想题的解题方法；
第二步：阅读文章首、末段首、末句4句话，使用剥洋葱式句子结构分析法得知这个4句话的意思（限于篇幅的原因我们就不一一翻译了）；翻译后我们发现，即使翻译为中文我们还是不知道文章的论点是什么。因此进入第2解题的思维：找最佳答案；
第三步：A选项是原文讲到的选项，原文第一段最后一句话说that together determine what shall be proced and how resources are used to proce it，因此A是正确的，但是我们不能立刻就选A，因为我们在找最佳答案，既然是最佳就要有4个选项的比较，完全有可能4个选项都是正确的，但是只能选择一个；B选项是原文第一段最后一句讲到的，the desire of indivials to maximize their incomes，因此B也是正确的，符合原文意思的；C选项原文四句话都讲到了，但是美国经济模式的运作的范围很显然大于这个4句话的范围。D选项在原文第一段的最后一句也讲到了desire of businessmen to maximize profits，因此D也是正确符合原文意思的。4个选项都是正确的，但是不同的是A、B和D只是在原文的第一段的最后一句讲到了，很显然C选项概括了4句话的全部内容，因此因该选择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.

第三步：A的意思是电脑的商业使用的方法，文章在最后一段讲到了电脑的商业使用的问题，因此A是符合原文意思的；B的意思是商业中电脑带来的便利，原文讲到了B选项，明显的证明是bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers，所以B也是正确并符合原文意思的；C的意思是自动化在商业企业中的重要性，文章4句话没有讲到自动化的问题，更没有讲到什么重要性，因此C是和原文无关的选项；D的意思是商业中信用卡的重要性，文章在第一段的第一句话就讲到了信用卡，但是没有讲到信用卡的重要性，因此D也是无关选项；因此这个题目的答案必然在A和B中产生。这个时候我们应该比较A和B有什么不同的地方。我们发现A强调的是“方法Approaches”而B强调的是“便利conveniences ”，很显然文章着重讲解的是电脑带来的便利，因此这个题目应该选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的意思是孩子在学习能力上的不同，但是文章的4句话并没有讲到学习能力的问题，因此是无关选项；B的意思是例外的孩子（弱智儿童）在现代社会的定义，文章4句话虽然讲到了exceptional children，但是并没有给它下定义，因此也是无关选项；C的意思是针对exceptional children的特别的项目，文章在最后一段讲到了这个问题；D的意思是调整教育以适应那些exceptional children的必要性，文章也讲到了；因此答案必然在C和D中产生，那就比较它们的不同，发现一个强调项目，一个强调必要性，而文章的4句话是强调必要性的多一点，因此应该选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的意思是火山运动的特征，该4句论点句并没有讲到这个问题，因此属于无关选项；B的意思是漂流板块理论的重要性，4句论点句也没有谈到漂流板块的问题，同A；C的意思是 hot spots在地球物理学研究中的重要性，文章讲到了hot spots的重要性，那么讲到地球物理学了吗？其实火山运动不就是地球物理学的一部分吗？因此看一个选项讲到没有，不应该仅仅看有没有一样的单词文章中出现没有，而且还要看相近意思的单词或句子出现没有，因此C是符合原文意思的正确选项，但是不能立刻选择，因为我们找的是最佳答案；D的意思是火山构成的过程，虽然这个4句话讲到了火山，但是没有谈及火山构成过程的问题，属于无关选项；因此这个题目应该选C；

每年，节目的成本在每个孩子50美元，包括T恤衫的价格和在学校里的体能训练方面的成果。
玛瑞亚，卡觉道文，一个体能教育的老师，询问了她的帮助者，数他们的跑步圈数，当他们在操场上跑步的时候。当他们完成了20圈的跑步，他们将会做一些跳绳的运动和仰卧起坐。
九岁的拉罗安杰说道，“我们之前没有这么多的活动。我们从不做俯卧撑和仰卧起坐。但是，现在，这些体育运动，让我自己感觉更好了。
