Passage One
That morning, when I left the subway station, a man ran down the street screaming, “Someone just bombed the World Trade Center(WTC).” Within one split second I was torn between running into the WTC to help evacuate people and running back to the office.I had no luck calling and decided that as the director I should run to the office to see how everyone was.I made it to the office to find three staff members trying to piece together what was happening.We had no idea how bad this day was about to become.The nightmare continued as rumors were flying about Washington D.C.being attacked and other planes being hijacked.Then the South Tower collapsed.Soon, a storm of dust came running toward the Seaport.At this time, the Body Positive Office went into action with the rest of the building and helped in setting up a temporary first-aid station in RED, the restaurant located on the street level.As the second tower collapsed, thousands came running toward the Seaport, where our office is located.We started bringing bottled water down to the restaurant to serve them.Although nothing in my clinical training as a social worker could have fully prepared me for this, I knew that it was important for us to be supportive of the wide range of reactions that people would be having.Soon, some people came in with first-aid needs.We continued throughout the morning, all the time listening to the radio and television for word from the Mayor on how to proceed.At 11:45 a.m., he requested that lower Manhattan evacuate.We made the announcement to all those resting in the restaurant that the building had to be closed.As we walked the streets finding our way out of the darkness on such a sunny day, fighter jets circled above the city.Much has been written about the disaster already.We have learned so much in such a small amount of time about appreciating life.Many parallels can be drawn between this disaster and the AIDS crisis from the multitude of losses to the bravery and courage displayed.Yet, we have only begun to understand what Tuesday, September 11, 2001 will truly mean to all of us.As I move forward, I am shocked by the images I witnessed, as much as I am so blessed to have been part of the deluge(洪水)of helping hands that came to make a difference.Passage Two
Bad luck always seems to strike at the worst possible moment.A man about to interview for his dream job gets stuck in traffic.A law student taking her final exam wakes up with a blinding headache.A runner twists his ankle minutes before a big race.Perfect examples of cruel fate.Or are they? Psychologists who study such common unlucky accidents now believe that in many instances, they may be carefully planned schemes of the subconscious mind.In their new book, Your Own Worst Enemy, Steven Berglas of Harvard Medical School and Mclean Hospital in Belmont, Mass, and Roy Baumeister of Case Western Reserve University contend that people often engage in a from of self-defeating behavior known as self-handicapping-or in plain terms, excuse-making.It’s a simple process: by taking on a crippling handicap, a person makes it more likely that he or she will fail at an endeavor.Though it seems like a crazy thing to do, Berglas and Baumeister say it is actually a clever trick of the mind, one that sets up a win situation by allowing a person to save face when he or she does fail.A classic self-handicapper is the French chess champion Deschapelles, who lived during the 18th century.Deschapelles was a great player who quickly became champion of his region.But when competition grew tougher, he adopted a new condition for all matches: he would compete
only if his opponent would remove one of Deschapelle’s pawns(卒)and make the first move, increasing the odds that Deschapelles would lose.If he did lose, he could blame it on the other player’s advantage and no one would know the true limits of his ability;but if he won against such odds, he would be all the more respected for his amazing talents.Psychologists now use the term “Deschapelles coup” to refer to acts of self-handicapping popular in today’s world.Overall, men are more likely than women to make excuses.Several studies suggest that men feel the need to appear competent in all realms, while women worry only about the skills in which they’ve invested heavily.Ask a man and a woman to go scuba diving(带水肺的潜水)for the first time, and the woman is likely to jump in, while the man is likely to first make it known that he’s not feeling too well.In fact, the people most likely to become chronic excuse makers are those obsessed with success, says Berglas, who is a consultant to several leading business executives.Such people are so afraid of being labeled a failure at anything that they constantly develop one handicap or another in order to explain their failures.Though self-handicapping can be an effective way of coping with performance anxiety now and then, in the end, researchers say, it is a Faustian Bargain(浮士德契约).Over the long run, excuse makers fail to live up to their true potential and lose the status they care so much about.And despite their protests to the contrary, they have only themselves to blame.Passage Three
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact, the opposite is true: More often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun, adventure, and excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing feature.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation.I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time: Now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.It liberates money: Buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy: We now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.Passage Four
People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed.It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions.They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory.The controversy is often referred to as “nature/nurture”.Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors.That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.A behaviorist, B.F.Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic;they maintain that, like machines, human respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior.In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes.That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.Passage Five
How often one hears children wishing they were grown-up, and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhoods is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is
always presenting new things to the child---things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains: He is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to do as a child, he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.Passage Six
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.Education knows no bounds.It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning.The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people
debating politics on the radio, form a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religious.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term.It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school.And one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on, the slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.There are definite conditions surrounding the formulized process of schooling.Cloze 1

More about Alzheimer's Disease
Scientists have developed skin tests that may be used in the future to identify people with Alzheimer's disease1 and may ultimately allow physicians to predict who is at risk of getting this neurological disorder.' The only current means of diagnosing the disease in a living patient is a long and expensive series of tests that eliminate every other cause of dementia.“ Since Alois Alzheimer described the disease nearly a century ago，people have been trying to find a way to accurately diagnose it in its early stages2，” said Patricia Grady，acting director3 of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda, Maryland.“This
discovery, if confirmed, could prove a big step forward in our efforts to deal with and understand the disease.”
Alzheimer's is the single greatest cause4 of mental deterioration in older people, affecting between 2.5 million and 4 million people in the United States alone5.The devastating disorder gradually destroys memory and the ability to function，and eventually causes death.6 There is currently no known treatment for the disease.Researches discovered that the skin cells of Alzheimer' s patients have defects that interfere with their ability to regulate the flow of potassium in and out of the cells.The fact that the cell defects are present in the skin suggests that7 Alzheimer's results from physiological changes
throughout the body，and that dementia may be the first noticeable effect of these changes as the defects affect the cells in the brain, scientists said.The flow of potassium is especially critical in cells responsible for memory formation8.The scientists also found two other defects that affect the cells' supply of calcium, another critical element.One test developed by researches calls for9 growing skin cells in a laboratory culture and then testing them with an electrical detector to determine if the microscopic tunnels that govern the flow of potassium are open.Open potassium channels create a unique electrical signature.A spokesman for the Alzheimer's Association said that if the validity of the diagnostic test can be proven it would be an important development, but cautioned that other promising tests for Alzheimer's have been disappointing.10

The 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator(电梯), I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window.“I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy(小狗).“Mrs Jones, you haven’t seen the room...just wait.”
“That doesn’t matter,” she replied.“Happiness is something you decide ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged.It’s how I arrange my mind.I have already decided to love it.It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up.Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account(账单).You take what you’ve put in.So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”

In America, there is a traditional story called a “tall tale”.A tall tale is a story about a person who is larger than life.The descriptions in the story are exaggerated(夸张的), which makes the story funny.People who had settled in undeveloped areas in America first told tall tales.After a hard day’s work, they would gather to tell each other funny stories.One character from these stories was Paul Bunyan who was a hero of North America’s lumberjacks, the workers who cut down trees.Tradition says he cleared forests from the northeastern United States to the Pacific Ocean.It is said that Paul Bunyan was born in the northeastern American state of Maine.His mother
and father were shocked when they first saw the boy.Paul was so large at birth that five large birds had to carry him to his parents.When the boy was only a few weeks old, he weighed more than forty-five kilograms.As a child, Paul was always hungry.His parents needed ten cows to supply milk for his meals.Before long, he ate fifty eggs and ten containers of potatoes every day.Young Paul grew so big that his parents did not know what to do with him.Once, Paul rolled over so much in his sleep that he caused an earthquake.This angered people in the town where his parents lived.So the government told his mother and father they would have to move him somewhere else.Paul’s father built a wooden cradle, a traditional bed for a baby, and put the cradle in the waters along the coast of Maine.However, every time Paul rolled over, huge waves covered all the coastal towns.So his parents brought their son back on land.They took him into the woods where he grew up.60.From the passage we learn that tall tales were first told by _________.A.workers who cut down trees in America

The World Health Organization says there is already evidence of health problems related to climate change.More people are dying from extreme heat.Diseases spread by insects are also on the rise.Also, it says climate change has increased the risk of natural disasters, especially severe dry weather, wildfires, major storms and floods.Disasters like these can kill directly or indirectly.People can die or get sick from food shortages or conditions like the spread of diseases.Several years ago, the WHO blamed climate change for two percent of diarrhea(痢疾)cases worldwide in the year 2000.Recently, researchers in Canada predicted that temperature increases there will spread insects like mosquitoes(蚊子)farther north.These insects can carry diseases.The scientists also predicted that climate change will lead to an increase in outbreaks of diseases that can be carried in water and food.They note that flooding, heavy rains and warmer temperatures are linked to the spread of bacteria, viruses and other organisms.This is true even in the presence of water treatment systems, they say.World Health Day celebrates the establishment of the WHO on April 7th, 1948.One goal this year is to call for local and international partnerships that will seek to improve health through
efforts to stabilize(稳定)climate change.The WHO says it aims to put public health at the center of UN efforts on climate change.A major message of this World Health Day is that the health of poor people will be hurt the most by climate change.The WHO says different areas of the world will experience different problems from climate change.But countries with high levels of poverty and underdevelopment will be the least prepared to deal with them.64.Which of the following is NOT caused by climate change directly or indirectly?
A.Higher birth rate.B.An increase in natural disasters.C.Extreme heat.D.Outbreaks of diseases.65.The spread of diseases proves that __________.A.more floods will happen in the world

66.Climate change can lead to an increase in diarrhea because it __________.A.causes the spread of harmful bacteria
B.makes temperature higher
C.prevents the sick from seeing a doctor
D.reduces the living space of humans
67.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the WHO?
A.The goal of the WHO is to make partnerships.B.UN is an international organization of the WHO.C.Climate change is the research purpose of the WHO.D.The WHO is celebrated with the World Health Day.D
Monte Cristo, one of the most isolated(偏远的)and mysterious islands in the world, is to be opened to the public for the first time in decades.The diamond-shaped island, which is about four square miles in size, was the site of an enormously buried treasure in the Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo.The island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, between the Italian mainland and Corsica, has no residents and is a state-protected nature reserve.It can be visited only by academics and researchers who must apply for special permission.For the past 40 years, private boats andmming has been banned in Monte Cristo waters.However, the Park Authority for the Tuscan Archipelago has now decided to allow up to 1,000 tourists a year to visit Monte Cristo, which lies 22 miles south of Elba and 40 miles from the coast of Italy.Visitors will be allowed from April 1 to July 15 and then from August 31 to the end of October each year.Trips for 2009 have to be booked with the authority by the end of January next year.Mario Tozzi, head of the commission, said that visitors, who can apply to join the tours online, would have to attend a daylong course on environmental education.Those who visit it must be educated enough to understand what treasures they are being allowed to see, Tozzi said.He added that the move to allow visitors was part of a policy of opening up reserves to tourism, and the numbers might be increased if it was successful.The island was made famous by The Count of Monte Cristo, an adventure novel written by Dumas in 1846.The book has the treasure hidden on the island by an Italian cardinal(红衣
主教).After escaping from a prison in which he has been unfairly imprisoned, the book’s hero Edmond Dantes finds a large box full of diamonds and pearls on the island.68.According to the passage, Monte Cristo.A.has been opened to the public for decades
B.looks like a diamond when it is seen from above
C.is the smallest island in the world
D.is unfamiliar to everybody in the world
69.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that.A.researchers can go to the island without permission
B.people oftenm in the waters of Monte Cristo
C.no visitors were allowed to go to the island before
D.the island has been well protected over the past 40 years
70.Which of the following drawings properly shows the location of the four places?(Corsica–C Italian mainland–I Elba–E Monte Cristo–M)

Here are three tips for skiers to reduce the cost of accommodation(膳宿).Book a bed and breakfast
Many skiers do not spend a lot of time at the place where they are staying during a ski trip.So, why book expensive accommodations? A better approach is to phone ahead and book a bed and breakfast.Most ski destinations have local B&Bs these days.They are relatively cheap and you usually get a good breakfast, which means you also save time by not having to drive to another location in the morning.Share a house with friends
An alternative to a B&B is to rent a house close to the ski resort for the weekend.A lot of locals in the towns and villages near the resorts rent homes to skiers.They could be second homes or cottages that they only use in the summer.These places are usually a bargain(便宜货)especially if you avoid holidays like Christmas and new years.You need to get a group of up to six friends together to make it worthwhile.Another benefit is that you can cook your own breakfast and dinner at the house, as well as prepare a lunch that you can bring with you to the ski slopes.This means you can make your skiing dollars stretch even further.Stay further away from the resort
If you want something a little more upscale(高档次的)than a B&B, or you don’t want to be tasked with getting a group of skiers together, there is another choice.You can stay at an inn or hotel further away from the ski resort.The further away you are from the ski slopes, the rates for rooms drop more.73.Many locals rent some of their houses to skiers because.A.they like to have skiers stay with them
B.their houses need to be looked after while they are away
C.their houses are too close to the ski resort
D.they are not using these houses at the moment
74.The benefit of sharing a house with your friends is that.A.it reduces the cost of your accommodation
B.it brings you more opportunities to make new friends
C.you don’t have to drive to the resort
D.it enables you to have three meals at home
75.An advantage of staying at an inn or hotel far away from the ski resort is that.A.you can drive to the ski slopes
B.the cost of accommodation is lower
C.it is quiet and you can have a better rest
D.you have more freedom in choosing your meals

第五篇：2014年职称英语综合类B级完型填空(经典缩印版)
第六篇 Teaching and learning
Many teachers believe that the responsibilities(职责)for learning 是…的责任)the student.If a long reading assignment(n.任务，作业)is __in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination.The idea（理想）_ student is considered to be one who is motivated(v.刺激，激发……的积极性)to learn for the sake of(为了)learning（学习）_, not the one interested only in getting high grades.Sometimes homework is returned with（带…回来）brief written comments but without a grade.Even if a grade is not given, the student is for learning the material assigned.When research is , the professor expects the student to take it responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library.Professors do students graduate students to exhaust(v.耗尽，使筋疲力尽;彻底讨论)the reference _ sources(资源)_ in the library.Professors will help dependent on them.In the United Stats professors have many other duties teaching, such as administrative(adj.管理的,行政的)or research work.Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is If a student has problems with classroom work , the student sho会).第七篇 The Difference between Man and Computer
What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element(n.元素，成分，要素)that our theories don’t yet answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about they are interested in.Computers, on the other hand, don't.In fact, computers don't have interests;there is nothing in particular(尤其, 特别)that they are trying to find out when they read.If a computer program（程序）_ is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a “purpose”.Of course, people have several goals that do not make sense（合理）to attribute to computers.One might read a restaurant guide in（为了）order to satisfy hunger or entertainment(n.娱乐，消遣)goals, or to find（寻找）a good place to go for a business lunch.Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.However, these physiological(adj.生理学的,生理的)and social goals give（导致）to several intellectual(adj.智力的，聪明的)or cognitive(adj.认知的，认识上的)goals.A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to(引起, 导致)goals to findabout the name of a restaurant which serves（供应）the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant, etc.These are goals to _ acquire（获取）information or knowledge, what we are calling learning（学习）_ goals.These goals can be held by computers too;a computer might（可能）_ “want” to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in（以…方式）the same way as a person might.While such a goal would not arise（起于）out of hunger in the case of the computer, it 很可能)arise out of the “goal” to learn more about restaurants.*第八篇 Look on The Bright Side
Do you ever wish you were more optimistic(adj.乐观的，乐观主义的), someone who always expected（期望）to be successful? Having someone around who always fears（恐惧）the worst isn’t really a lot of fun（乐趣）.We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, “It looks like（像）rain.” But if you catch yourself thinking such things,it's important to do something about（对此）it(代前面整句话，指这个状况、情况、事实).to psychologists(心理学家).It only takes a little effort, and you'll find life more rewarding(adj.有益的，值得的，有报酬的)as a result（结果）.Optimism，they say，is partly about self-respect
and confidence but it's also a more positive way of looking at life and all it has to offer（提供）.Optimists are more likely（很有可能）to start new projects and are generally more prepared to take risks.Upbringing(教养，养育，抚育)is obviously(adv.明显地，显然地)very important in forming your attitude（态度）to the world.Some people are brought up to depend（依赖于）too much on others and grow up(成长)forever blaming(v.责备，归咎于)other people when anything goes（发生）wrong.Most optimists,on the _other（另一方面）（把..看作）failure as the end of the world—they just get on（继续）with their lives.*第九篇 The First Bicycle
The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years.In 1791, Count(伯爵)de Sivrac delighted（使...喜悦）onlookers(观众)in a park in Paris as he 炫耀)his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celeriferé.It was basically an enlarged（扩大）version of a children’s toy which had been in use（在使用中）for many years.Sivrac's “celeriferé” had a wooden frame, made in the shape（形状）of a horse,which was mounted on a wheel at either end．To ride it, you sat on a small seat, just like a modem bicycle,and pushed hard（努力）against the ground（地面）with your legs—there were no pedals(踏板，脚蹬子).It was impossible to steer(驾驶，操纵，控制)a celeriferé and it had no brakes(闸，刹车（吸引）to the fashionable young men of Paris.Soon they were holding（举行）races up and down the streets.Minor injuries（受伤）were common as riders attempted a final burst(爆发，突发，爆炸)of speed（速度）.Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change direction（方向）was to pull up the front of the “celeriferé” and turn（掉转）it round while the front wheel was spinning（自旋）in the air."Celeriferéof no springs(弹簧), no steering and rough roads(起伏路)made riding them very uncomfortable.Even so,the wooden celeriferé was the origin（始祖）of the modem bicycle.第十篇 Working Mothers
Carefully conducted(v.实施，实行)researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose mothers stayed at home.My personal view（观点）is that mothers should be allowed to work if they wish.Whether we like it or not, there are a number（很多）of mothers who just have to work.There are those who have invested(投资)such a big part of their lives in establishing(建立)a career that they cannot afford（负担）to see it lost.Then there are many who must work out of pure economic(经济上的)necessity（有必要）.Many mothers are not cut（适合于）out to be full-time parents.After a few months at home with a much loved infant(婴儿，幼儿), they feel trapped(v.使陷入困境，使受限制)and isolated(使隔离，使孤立).There are a number of options(选项，选择)when it comes（涉及）to choosing childcare.These range from child minders(照顾者)and nannies(保姆)直到)Granny(奶奶)or the kind(好心的)lady across（对面）the street.reality（在现实状况下）, however,many parents don't have any choice;they have to accept anything they can get.Be prepared!No matter（无论）how good the childcare may be,some children are going to protest(抗议)wildly(激烈的)if they are left.This is a perfectly（完全）normal stage of child development.Babies separate well in the first six months,but soon after that they start to get a crush(依恋, 压烂)on Mum and close family members（成员）.Make sure that in the first week you allow plenty of（大量）安顿下来).All children are different.Some are independent, while others are more（做）the best for your children, it's not the quantity(数量)of time you spend with them，it's the quality（质量）that matters.
