职称英语考试综合类(A类)试题及答案（精选8篇）
A brain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months so she could deliver the child she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died, a day after giving birth.
“This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family,” Justin Torres, the woman#39;s brother-in-law, said in a statement.
Susan Torres， a cancer-stricken， 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health， suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma (黑瘤) spread to her brain.
Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus (胎儿) a chance. It became a race between the foetus#39; development and the cancer that was destroying the woman#39;s body.
Doctors said that Torres#39; health was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy.
Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caesarean section (剖腹产手术) on Tuesday at Virginia Hospital Center. The baby was two months premature and weighed about a kilogram. She was in the newborn intensive care unit.
Dr Donna Tilden-Archer， the hospital#39;s director of neonatology (新生儿学)， described the child as “very vigorous.” She said the baby had responded when she received stimulation， indicating she was healthy.
Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband， Jason Tortes， after she received the final sacrament (圣礼) of the Roman
Catholic Church.
“We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan, the baby and our family,” Jason Torres said in a statement. “We especially thank God for giving us little Susan. My wife#39;s courage will never be forgotten.”
English-language medical literature contains at least 11 cases since 1979 of
irreversibly brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged for the benefit of the
developing foetus, according to the University of Connecticut Health Center.
Dr Christopher McManus, who coordinated care 1“or Susan Torres, put the infant#39;s chances of developing cancer at less than 25 per cent. He said 19 women who have had the same aggressive form of melanoma as Tortes have given birth, and five of their babies became ill with the disease.
36 Susan Torres died soon after
A she suffered a stroke.
B she became brain-dead.
C she was diagnosed with cancer.
D she gave birth to a baby.
37 The pregnancy was stopped because
A the foetus was found seriously ill.
B the risks outweighed the benefits.
C there was no hope to rescue the foetus.
O the Tortes family couldn#39;t afford the expenses any more.
38 Which is NOT true of the baby?
A She was born of a dead mother.
B She was two months premature
C She weighed about a kilogram.
D She was healthy.
39 Susan Torres had been put on life support so
A she could live comfortably.
B she could see her baby.
C she could die without pain.
D she could deliver her baby.
40 The baby#39;s chances of developing cancer were said to be
A about 11 per cent
B around 19 per cent.
C less than 25 per cent.
D close to 5 per cent.
第三篇 Smart Exercise
Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says: ”While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can literally cause physical changes in the brain.“
The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies， even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes， a pediatrician (儿科医师)， believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. ”Babies need movement that stimulates their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way， as they get older， children will begin to associate physical activity with higher learning，“ says Margaret.
Older people can beef up their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors ranging in age from seventy to seventy-nine. Their study showed a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for infants, exercise for older people should involve some complexity. Learning some new skills or motions helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time.
For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain#39;s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.
41 Research by Dr. Cameron seems to suggest that exercise can
A generate new blood vessels.
B change the way a person thinks.
C promote brain development.
D divert one#39;s attention.
42 Margaret Barnes thinks that a lack of movement in infancy can
A lead to learning troubles later.
B cause physical disabilities later.
C stimulate the five senses.
D bring about changes in the brain.
43 The expression ”beef up“ in paragraph 3 means
A ”control“.
B ”strengthen“.
C ”operate“.
D ”encourage“.
44 To be beneficial, exercise for older people should
A be done in a group.
B be done on a daily basis.
C involve great difficulty.
D increase the heart rate.
45 The title of the passage implies that
A only smart people do exercise.
B exercise can be smart or stupid.
C exercise keeps the brain strong.
A. continuable
B. affordable
C. available
D. Persistent
答案：ABACA
First Self-contained Heart Implanted 【首例整套人工心脏移植】
A patient on the brink of death has received the world’s first self-contained artificial heart―a battery-powered device about the size of a softball that runs without the need for wires, tubes or hoses sticking out of the chest.
Two surgeons from the University of Louisville implanted the titanium and plastic pump during a sever-hour operation at Jewish Hospital Monday. The hospital said the patient was “awake and responsive” Tuesday and resting comfortably. It refused to release personal details.
The patient had been expected to die within a month without the operation, and doctors said they expected the artificial heart to extend the person’s life by only a month. But the device is considered a major step toward improving the patient’s quality of life.
The new pump, called AbioCor, is also a technological leap from the mechanical hearts used in the 1980s, which were attached by wires and tubes to bulky machinery outside the body. The most famous of those, the Jarvic-7, used air as a pumping device and was attached to an apparatus about the size of a washing machine.
“I think it’s potentially a major step forward in the artificial heart development,” said Dr. David Faxon, president of the American heart Association. However, he said the dream of an implantable, permanent artificial heart is not yet a reality: “This is obviously an experimental device whose long-term success has to be demonstrated.” Only about half of the 4,200 Americans on a waiting list for donor hearts received them last year, and most of the rest died.
Some doctors, including Robert Higgins, chairman of cardiology at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, said artificial hearts are unlikely to replace donor hears.
“A donor heart in a good transplant can last 15 to 30 years,” he said. “It’s going to be hard to replace that with a machine.”
The AbilCor has a 2-pound pumping unit, and electronic controls that adjust the pumping speed based on the body’s needs. It is powered by a small battery pack worn outside the body that transmits current through the skin.
36. 前两段告诉Self-contained artificial heart
A. was made of titanium and pump
B. had brought the patient to the brink of death
C. did not need to get power from outside the body
D. was invented by two surgeous from university of Louisville

A. could not afford a donor heart
B. was said to be in a good condition the next day after the operation
C. died two month’s after the heart implantation
D. was reluctant to release his or her personal information
38. 第四段中the Jarvic-7 is
A. the most expensive mechanical heart
B. a mechanical heart used in the 1980s
C. as advanced as A biocor
D. replacing A biocor
39. 通过Dr. David Faxon, the self-contained heart is
A. a milestone in the artificial heart development
B. still in the experimental stage
C. an implantable, permanent artificial heart
D. unavailable to all those Americans waiting for donor hearts
40.从文章推断出donor heart
A. saved the lives of about 2100 Americans the year before the report
B. will be replaced by self-contained artificial hearts sooner or later
C. are more popular and cheaper than self-contained artificial hearts
D. can help patients survive less than 15 years if they are in good transplant.

Wrongly Convicted Man and His Accuser Tell Their Story
NEW YORK,NY, January 5,. St.Martin’s Press has announced the release of the paperback edition of Picking Cotton, a remarkable true story of what novelist John Grisham calls an “account of violence, rage, redemption(救赎)，and, ultimately forgiveness.”
The story began in 1987, in Burlington, North Carolina, with the rape of a young while college student named Jennifer Thompson. During her ordeal, Thompson swore to herself that she would never forget the face of her rapist, a man who climbed through the window of her apartment and assaulted her brutally._During the attack, she made an effort to memorize eveery detail of his face, looking for scars, tattoos(纹身)，or other identifying marks.(46)When the police asked her if she could identify the assilant(袭击者)from a book of mug shots, she picked one that she was sure was correct, and later she identified the same man in a lineup.
Based on her convincing eyewithness testimony, a 22-year-old black man named Ronald Cotton was sentenced to prison for two life terms. Cotton’s lawyer appealed the decision, and by the time of the appeals hearing, evidence had come to light suggesting that the real rapist might have been a man who looked very like Cotton, an imprisoned criminal named Bobby Poole.Another trial was held.(47)Jennifer Thompson looked at both men face to face, and once again said that Ronald Cotton was the one who raped her.
Eleven years later, DNA evidence completely exonerated(证明……清白)Cotton and just as unequivocally(明确地) convicted Poole, who confessed to the crime. Thompson was shocked and devastated.(48) “The man I was so sure I had never seen in my life was the man who was inches from my throat, who raped me, who hurt me, who took my spirit away, who robbed me of my soul,” she wrote. “And the man I had identified so surely on so many occasions was absolutely innocent.”
_Jennifer Thompson decided to meet Cotton and apologize to him personally.(49) Remarkably both were able to put this tragedy behind them, overcome the racial barrier that divided them, and write a book, which they have subtitled “Our memoir of injustice and redemption.”
Nevertheless, Thompson says, she still lives “with constant pain that my profound mistake cost him so dearly_I cannot begin to imagine what would have happened had my mistaken identification occurred in a capital case_(50)”
A. Jennifer Thompson decided to meet Cotton and apologize to him personally.
B. Many criminals are sent to prison on the basis of accurate testimony by eyewithnesses.
C. I cannot begin to imagine what would have happened had my mistaken identification occurred in a capital case
D. Another trial was held.
E. Thompson was shocked and devastated.
F. During the attack, she made an effort to memorize eveery detail of his face, looking for scars, tattoos(纹身)，or other identifying marks.

Memory Test
1“I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,”promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He slapped his hand down on the table.“When I’ve finished in two hours’ time,your work will be far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now.”The entire room sat still.
2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔术师).He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible,and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery (骗术).“I have always been interested in tricks involving memory-being able to reel off (一口气 说出) the order of cards in a pack,that sort of thing,”he explains.
3Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable.“It wasn’t difficult area to move inot,as the stuff’s all there in books.”So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.
4“You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,”says Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant.“I wish I’d been told this earlier,”commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to construct“mental journeys”.
5Essentially,you visualize (想象) a walk down a street,or a trip round a room,and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit bowl.Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs,historical dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works.
6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic.“The pupils benefited enormously from lan’s presentation,”says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson was speaking.“ldeally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually.”
23.Paragraph 2 _________.

Scientists have defined a new age concept and believe it could explain why populations are aging, but at the same time seem to be getting younger.
Instead of measuring aging by how long people have lived, the scientists have factored in how many more years people can probably still look forward to.
“Using that measure, the average person can get younger in the sense that he or she can have even more years to live as time goes on,” said Warren Sanderson of the University of New York in Stony Brook.
He and Sergei Scherbov of the Vienna lnstitute of Demography (人口统计学) at the Austrian (奥地利的) Academy of Sciences， have used their method to estimate how the proportion of elderly people in Germany， Japan and the United States will change in the future.
The average German was 39.9 years old in 2000 and could plan to live for another 39.2 years, according to research reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday.
However, by 2050 the average German will be 51.9 years old and will be expected to live another 37.1 years. So middle age in 2050 would occur at around 52 years instead of 40 years as in 2000.
“As people have more and more years to live they have to save more and plan more and they effectively are behaving as if they were younger,” said Sanderson.
Five years ago, the average American was 35.3 years old and could plan for 43.5 more years of life. By 2050, the researchers estimate it will increase to 41.7 years and 45.8 future years.
“A lot of our ski/Is, our education, our savings and the way we dear with our health care depend a great deal on how many years we have to live,” said Sanderson.
This dimension of how many years people have to live has been completely ignored in the discussion of aging so far.
36 People 40 years of age today seem to be as young as
A their parents were at the same age.
B their parents were at the age of 30.
C their children will be at the same age.
D their children will be at the age of 30.
37 The new age concept was developed out of the notion of
A “future years”.
B “average years”.
C “past years”.
D “school years”.
38 In 2000, middle age for the average German occurred
A at 37.1 years.
B at 40 years.
C at 39.2 years.
D at 52 years.
39 By 2050, the average American will live to
A the age of 41.7.
B the age of 45.8.
C the age of 78.8.
D the age of 87.5.
40 Which is NOT affected by the number of years we have to live?
A Our education.
B Our savings.
C The way we handle our health care.
D The number of years we have lived.
第三篇 Is the Tie a Necessity?
Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties?
Maybe. Last week, the UK#39;s Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.
In fact， Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities (知名人士) without ties， which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.
For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tic; was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party - almost every social occasion.
But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.
The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a “band”. The term could mean anything around a man#39;s neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear (颈饰) impressed Charles II， the king of England who was exiled (流放) to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660， he brought this new fashion item along with him.
It wasn#39;t, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then, clubs, military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer#39;s membership in the late 19th century. After that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.
But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.
41 The tie symbolizes all of the following except
A respect.
B elegance，
C politeness，
D democracy.
42 Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event without a tie?
A Because he wants to make a show.
B Because he wants to attract attention.
C Because ties are costly.
D Because he wants to live in a casual way.
43 Which of the following is NOT a social occasion?
A Going to church.
B Going to work in the office.
C Staying at home.
D Going to a party.
44 Who brought the Frenchmen#39;s neckwear to Britain?
A Tony Blair.
B Charles II.
C Jim Callaghan.
D Andrew Turnbull.
45 When did British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly?
A After the late 19th century.
B In the 1630s.
C In 1660.
Work and Careers
Sometimes we say that someone we know is a “square peg in a round hole”(1). This simply means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. He may be a bookkeeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are “square pegs”; they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one reason or another. As a result they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.
Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this through aptitude test, interview with specialists, and study of books in our field of interest.
There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science. Then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many persons find their place in government service. Teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering---these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.

案例分析（共2小题，每小题10分，计20分）
1.李某有一女李霞14岁，系农村某镇初中二年级学生。李某认为女孩上学无用，还不如早下来赚钱，遂于2003年暑假将李霞送到邻镇一个体户处打工。开学一周后，学校老师、领导、村干部多次上门家访，李某拒不说明其去向，有时还恶语相报：“孩子读不读书是咱们自家的事，你们不要狗咬耗子——多管闲事。”
请问：⑴该案例中有没有违法行为？⑵违反了什么法律规定？⑶违法主体是谁？⑷应该承担什么法律责任？
答案要点：（1）有违法行为。
（2）违反了《义务教育法》第11条和《未成年人保护法》第9条、第28条等规定。
（3）李某及个体户。
（4）《义务教育法》第15条规定，除因疾病或者特殊情况，经当地人民政府批准的以外，适龄儿童、少年不入学接受义务教育的，由当地人民政府对他的父母或者其他监护人批评教育，并采取有效措施责令送子女或者被监护人入学。对招用适龄儿童、少年就业的组织或者个人，由当地人民政府给予批评教育，责令停止招用；情节严重的，可以并处罚款、责令停止营业或者吊销营业执照。《未成年人保护法》第49条规定，企业事业组织、个体工商户非法招用未满十六周岁的未成年人，由劳动部门责令改正，处以罚款；情节严重的，由工商行政管理部门吊销执照。
2.某校初中班主任吴老师在批改作业时，发现学生高某的作业本中夹了一封写有XXX收的信件，吴老师顺便拆封阅读了此信。这是高某写给一位女同学的求爱信，吴老师看了十分生气，后在班会上宣读了此信，同时对高某提出了批评。次日高某在家留了一张字条后离家出走。高某家长找到吴老师理论并要求将高某找回。吴老师解释说：“我作为教师，对学生进行教育和管理是我的职责，我批评高某是为了教育和爱护他。他是从家中出走的，与我的工作没有关系。”
请问：⑴吴老师的哪些做法不正确？试述你的判断所依据的法规及条款。⑵吴老师的解释是否正确？为什么？
答案要点：⑴吴老师私自拆阅学生高某信件的行为和在班会上宣读高某信件的行为是不正确。因为上述行为违反了《未成年人保护法》第30条和第31条的规定。
⑵吴老师的解释不正确，因为吴老师有对学生进行教育和管理的职责，但教师对学生的教育和管理必须建立在尊重学生人格、平等相待的基础上。《教师法》规定，教师要“关心、爱护全体学生，尊重学生人格，促进学生在品德、智力、体质等方面全面发展。”尊重学生、平等对待学生是教师的最基本的职业道德，不能借口教育和爱护学生而侵犯学生的合法权益。本案例中吴老师不适当的教育方式对学生高某的离家出走负有不可推卸的责任。论述题（共1小题，计10分）

The United States Food and Drug Administration1 has ordered companies to place strong new warnings on thirteen drugs that treat sleep disorders. It also ordered the makers of the sleeping pills to provide information for patients explaining how to safely use the drugs.
Last Wednesday, the FDA announced that some of these drugs can have unexpected and dangerous effects. These include the risk of life-threatening allergic reactions. They also include rare incidents of strange behavior. These include people cooking food, eating and even driving while asleep. The patients later had no memory of doing these activities while asleep.
Last year, a member of the United States Congress2 said he had a sleep-driving incident. Patrick Kennedy, a representative from Rhode Island3，crashed his car into a security barrier near the building where lawmakers meet. The accident happened in the middle of the night and no one was hurt. Mr. Kennedy said he had earlier taken a sleep medicine. He said he was also being treated with a stomach sickness drug that could cause sleepiness.
The FDA did not say in its announcement how many cases of sleep-driving it had documented. However, the New York Times4 reported last year about people who said they had strange sleep events after taking the drug Ambien. Some reported sleep-driving and sleep-walking. Others said they found evidence after waking in the morning that they had cooked food or eaten in their sleep. But they had no memory of carrying out the activities.
An FDA official says that these serious side effects of sleep disorder drugs appear to be rare. But, he also says there are probably more cases than are reported.5 He says the agency believes the risk of such behaviors could be reduced if people take the drugs as directed and do not drink alcohol while taking the drugs. The Food and Drug Administration has advised drug companies to carry out studies to investigate the problem.
41. The FDA announced that
A. thirteen drug companies were closed last Wednesday.
B. only thirteen drugs could treat sleeping disordera.
C. some sleep drugs could lead to serious side effects.
D. some makers of sleeping pills provided false information to their patients.

42. The FDA warned that some sleeping pills
A. can help people to learn to cook
B. prevent people from driving while asleep.
C. present life-threatening risk to patients
D. have severe effect on a patient’s long-term memory
答案：D
43. What happened to Patrick Kennedy last year?
A. He crashed his car into a security barrier.
