职称英语(综合类)模拟试题(三)
(47) They're suspension bridges, massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges. A suspension bridge needs just two towers to shoulder the structure's mammoth weight, thanks to hefty supporting cables slung between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge. The Messina Strait Bridge will have two 54,100-ton towers, which will support most of the bridge's load. The beefy cables of the bridge, each 1.2 meter in diameter, will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built.
When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005, the first job will be to erect two 370 meter-tall steel towers. (48) Getting these cables up will be something. It's not just their length — totally 5.3 kilometers — but their weight. (49)
After lowering vertical“suspender”cables from the main cables, builders will erect a 60 meter-wide 54.630-ton steel roadway, or deck — wide enough to accommodate 12 lanes of traffic. The deck's weight will pull down on the cables with a force of 70,500 tons. In return, the cables yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of 139,000 tons — equivalent to the weight of about 100,000 cars. Those anchors are essential. (50)
A Some environmentalists are against the project on biological grounds.
B What do the world's longest bridges have in common?
C If true, one day you might spy the beast while zipping (呼啸而过) across the Messina Strait Bridge.
D They're what will keep the bridge from going anywhere.
E The second job will be to pull two sets of steel cables across the strait, each set being a bundle of 44,352 individual steel wires.
F They will tip up the scales at 166,500 tons — more than half the bridge's total mass.

2.
“正确答案” 23. A 24. D 25. C 26. B 27. E 28. A 29. C 30. D
“答案解析” 23. A.第一段段首句的含义为“一些人好象有学习语言的诀窍。”再看该段的最后一句,这一句是说“我们可能会发现使他们学习语言容易的技巧”。所以据此判断该段的标题中应包含有“技巧,诀窍”这类词。于是在备选答案中进行筛选,发现A合适:way的语义是“方法”,而“方法”与“技巧,诀窍”是近义词。A句的含义为“成功地学好语言的方法”,此句义与该段最后一句的含义吻合。因此,A是合适的选择。
24. D.第二段段首句的含义为“首先,成功的语言学习者是独立学习的人。”再看该段的最后一句,这一句是说“他们努力从所犯的错误中学到经验”,这两句似乎差别太大。于是扫视该段,不难发现该段多处有their own way(自己的方法)和 find…for themselves(自己寻找)这样的短语,所以据此判断该段的标题中应与“自己或独立”这类词相关。在备选答案中进行筛选,发现D合适:independently正合此意。D句的含义为“独立地学习语言”,此句义与该段第一句的含义吻合。因此,D是合适的选择。
25. C.第三段段首句的含义为“成功的语言学习积极的学习。”再看该段的最后一句,这一句是说“对他们来说用这种语言思考比学习词汇更重要”,这两句似乎也差别太大。于是扫视该段,不难发现该段有look for, not afraid of, try again 等这样的短语,而这些都是“积极”的表现。所以判断该段的标题中有“积极”这类词。在备选答案中进行筛选,发现C合适:actively正合此意。C句的含义为“积极地学习语言”,此句义与该段第一句的含义吻合。因此,C是合适的选择。
26. B.第四段段首句的含义为“最后,成功的语言学习者是有目的学习的人。”再看该段的最后一句,这一句是说“因为他们想要学会用它,所以他们发现定期地练习使用这种语言很容易”,这两句都提到了目的。所以判断该段的标题中应与“目的”这类词。在备选答案中进行筛选,发现B合适:purposely正合此意。B句的含义为“有目的地学习语言”,此句义与该段第一句的含义吻合。因此,B是合适的选择。
