2025年职称英语考试《综合类》考试共65题，分为单选题。小编为您整理概括大意与完成句子分析5道练习题，附答案解析，供您备考练习。

1、Intelligent Machines1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson\'s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is authｏｒof the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines ａｎｄ　is one of the world\'s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona; the virtual (虚拟的) hostess of Kurzweil\'s homepage, who is programmed to understａｎｄ　what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, ａｎｄ　Ramona also dances ａｎｄ　sings.3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world", he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒ(探测器) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees.4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". This invention will recognize millions of words ａｎｄ　understａｎｄ　any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to trans late into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won\'t be ready fｏｒat least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.Paragraph 2 ____【单选题】

A.A new pair of eyes

B.Computers that can communicate

C.Everlasting consciousness on a computer

D.Time to break off a friendship

E.An authｏｒａｎｄ　researcher

F.A new pair of ears

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度较大，第二段没有明显的主旨句，考生需要很强的归纳概括能力。本段提到智能机器能够使电脑识别声音，和别人进行交流。回来看选项，B项Computers that can communicate，“能进行交流的电脑”，可以概括本段内容，答案是B。

2、Longer Lives Are Happier Lives1 In recent years, scientists have been studying ways to change the body\'s chemistry to reduce the signs ａｎｄ　effects of aging.2 0neｇｒｏｕｐof researchers in Britain has performed experiments on a kind of worm. They have managed to increase the worm\'s normal life span of 20 days by up to 400%. They hope that they will be able to use this research to help humans live longer. However, this is a long way in the future. Another disadvantage is that when (ｏｒif) the new technology is successfully developed, it will probably be very expensive. The chance to live longer will only be available to a very few, very rich people.3 Anotherｇｒｏｕｐof scientists is studying people who have reached a very old age. They believe that this may show what has kept these people healthy ａｎｄ　alive fｏｒso long. So, if we look at people who have lived into very old age, what do they have in common? Usually they have led a physically active life. This does not mean going to a gym ｏｒrunning ten miles every day. Simple, enjoyable activities like walking seem to be more likely to keep you healthy. Very old people also eat a good, varied diet. Simple foods like vegetable, rice, pasta ａｎｄ　fish are the best.4 However, there may be one thing even more important than physical factors like diet ａｎｄ　exercise. Research shows that personality, ａｎｄ　the way a person thinks, play an important part in how long they will live. People who live into very old age always seem to enjoy life. They have a sense of humｏｒａｎｄ　get satisfaction from simple things. They do not constantly think about the past, but are interested in the present ａｎｄ　the future. They do not let life get boring, but have interests ａｎｄ　hobbies which keep their minds active ａｎｄ　they are open to new ideas. One Japanese man who lived to be 120 commented that the secret of his long life was "not worrying". To express it simply, people who are happy ａｎｄ　positive about life are more likely to live longer.5 So, eat well, exercise well, ａｎｄ　enjoy life, ａｎｄ　you will have a good chance of living to a healthy, happy old age.Some scientists are studying people who live a long time because ____【单选题】

A.Running 10 miles every day

B.It does not exist

C.They hope to find out what has made them live so long

D.walking

E.enjoy life

F.It will be very expensive

正确答案:C

答案解析:科学家研究长寿老人的目的在于发现长寿的原因，符合正常的逻辑思维。另外C中的 hope表明目的。

3、A Strong Greenhouse Gas1 Methane is a colorless, odorless gas; it is also a potent greenhouse gas, ａｎｄ　once released into the atmospheres, it absorbs beat radiating from Earth\'s surface. That\'s why methane is a majｏｒcontributｏｒto the planet\'s increasing temperature rise ｏｒglobal warming. Molecule fｏｒmolecule, methane\'s heat-trapping power in the atmosphere is 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas.2 With 13 billion cows belching almost constantly around the world (100 million in the U. S. alone), it\'s no surprise that menace released by livestock is one of the chief sources of the gas. Other prime methane sources: petroleum, drilling, coal mining, solid-waste landfills ａｎｄ　wetlands.3 Greenhouse gases like methane ａｎｄ　carbon dioxide make up only a small part of Earth\'s atmosphere, which is 78 percent nitrogen ａｎｄ　nearly 21 percent oxygen. ａｎｄ　without greenhouse gases to trap the sun\'s heat ａｎｄ　warm the planet, life as we know it couldn\'t exist. But in the last200 years, human activity that requires burning oil, natural gas, ａｎｄ　coal fｏｒenergy has magnified the greenhouse effect.4 Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled in the last two centuries. Blame fｏｒthis often focuses on big industries ａｎｄ　gas-guzzling vehicles. But agriculture plays a majｏｒrole, too. In the past 40 years alone, the global cattle population has doubled.5 Cows munch mostly grasses ａｎｄ　hay yet they grow big ａｎｄ　hefty. Why? Because of the rumen. The rumen holds 160 liters of food ａｎｄ　billions of microbes. These microscopic bacteria ａｎｄ　protozoa break down cellulose ａｎｄ　Fiber into digestible nutrients. A cow couldn\'t live without its microbes. As the microbes digest cellulose, trey release methane. The process occurs in all animals with a rumen (cows, sheep, ａｎｄ　goats, fｏｒexample), ａｎｄ　it makes them very gassy. It\'s part of their normal digestion process. When they drew their cud, they regurgitate some food to rechew it, ａｎｄ　all this gas comes out. The average cow expels 600 liters of methane a day.That\'s why we say livestock gas is also a majｏｒfactｏｒof causing the global warming.Paragraph 5 ____【单选题】

A.Life of Macroscopic Bacteria in Livestock\'s Rumen

B.Ways to Reduce Methane\'s Heat-trapping Power

C.Agriculture Also Contributes to Increased Concentrations of Methane in the Atmosphere

D.Why Livestock Releases Methane

E.Methane as a Strong Greenhouse Gas

F.Livestock as a Prime Factｏｒof the Greenhouse Effect

正确答案:D

答案解析:本段从科学的角度分析反刍动物为什么会释放出甲烷。

F.A new pair of ears

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，没有明显的主旨句。但第五段中间的关键词汇consciousness onto a computer，选项有近义解释。本段主要是畅想未来，谈论人类的整个意识系统可能会被植入到电脑里面，这样就意味着人类思想可永远留存。C项Everlasting consciousness on a computer，“在电脑里永远留存的意识”，可以概括本段内容，答案是C。

5、Geology ａｎｄ　Heap(1)The importance of particular metals in the human diet has been realized within the past few decades, ａｎｄ　the idea that geology might be related to health has been recognized fｏｒa number of elements such as iodine, zinc ａｎｄ　selenium. Fｏｒexample, soils with low iodine contents produce crops, ａｎｄ　animals deficient in iodine. A lack of iodine in the human diet leads to some serious diseases.(2)The ultimate source of metals within the human body is rocks, which weather into soil, gaining ｏｒlosing some of their chemical constituents. The crops we eat selectively remove from the soil the elements that they require fｏｒgrowth. The water we drink contains trace elements leached from rock ａｎｄ　soil. Thus the geology ａｎｄ　geochemistry of the environment have effects on the chemistry ａｎｄ　health of plants, animals ａｎｄ　people.(3)So far there is no data to suggest that people living on metal-rich soils experience a potential health hazard. The levels of metals within naturally contaminated soils are generally not high enough to cause serious health problems. Living on metal-rich soils does not represent a health risk unless large quantities of soil are digested ｏｒmetal-rich dust is inhaled. However, small children are particularly exposed to metal-rich topsoil in playgrounds ａｎｄ　gardens. They are also the most likely ones to eat potentially dangerous metal-rich soil.(4)Heavy metals are persistent: they do not break down to other chemicals in the environment. Industrially polluted sites usually undergo intensive clean-up ａｎｄ　rehabilitation because heavy metals are a health concern once they enter the food chain. Some trace metals are alleged to cause cancer ａｎｄ　are also known to cause poisoning(5)In contrast, naturally contaminated soils have not been subject too risk assessment studies ａｎｄ　rehabilitation measures, despite the fact that they frequently possess metal concentrations well above those of such polluted by humans ａｎｄ　above environmental quality criteria.(6)There is a vital need to understａｎｄ　the potential risks ａｎｄ　long-term health effects of living on naturally contaminated soils. Future environmental investigations of naturally polluted soils should concentrate on the potential pathways of metals into the food chain ａｎｄ　human body. Geologists should be part of such studies as they can provide the essential background information on rock ａｎｄ　soil chemistry as well as the chemical forms of heavy metal pollution.It is extremely necessary to study the long-term effects caused by living on____ .【单选题】

A.industrially polluted soils

B.rock ａｎｄ　soil chemistry

C.naturally polluted soils

D.the pathways of metals into the food chain

E.the element of iodine

F.the persistence of heavy metals

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题答案的依据是最后一段的第1句，即“There is a vital need to understａｎｄ　the potential risks ａｎｄ　long-terse health effects of living on naturally contaminated soils. ”
