2016職稱英語綜合類閱讀模擬試題
People travel for a lot of reasons.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines1.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their pictures taken2 in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on3.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it4.Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain5.This is the reason the Mediterranean6 has always attracted them.Every summer,more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts7 and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason： sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's 30，000 hotels are booked solid8 every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches,parks,and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain9.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle.The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism ，it's getting worse.The French can't figure out10 what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this,however,is spoiling11 anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don't go there for clean water and solitude12.They tolerate traffic jams13 and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as14 the sun shines,it's still better thanin the cold rain in Berlin,London,or Oslo.
注釋：
1 religious shrine：宗教圣殿
2.have their pictures taken：請(qǐng)別人為他們照相
3.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.但大多數(shù)歐洲游客愿意尋找陽光充足的海灘曬日光浴。注意look for和fmd的區(qū)別。look for是“找”的過程，常解釋為“尋找”，find是“找”的結(jié)果，所以常解釋為“找到”。不妨體會(huì)一下它們的差別：I've been looking for my lost watch and haven't found it yet.
4.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it.北歐人心甘情愿花大筆金錢，容忍諸多不便去獲得陽光，因?yàn)殛柟鈱?duì)他們來說太難得了。
5.Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.由于白天很短，像倫敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民在冬季的大部分時(shí)間里，都是在昏暗中度過的，而其余的季節(jié)又都是陰雨連綿。這句點(diǎn)出了北歐陰冷潮濕，日短夜長(zhǎng)的氣候特征，也就解釋了歐洲游客執(zhí)著追求溫暖明媚陽光的原因。
6.the Mediterranean：地中海地區(qū)
7.resorts：指常去的地方，勝地
8.be booked solid：全部客滿
9.37 million tourists visit yearly ，or one tourist for every person living in Spain.每年有3 700多萬游客，換句話說，旅游者與西班牙居民人數(shù)相當(dāng)，即為1：1.
10.figure out：此處指“想出”，它還有“算出;明白;斷定”等意。
11.spoil：原意為“損壞;寵壞”，此處指“破壞興致”。
12.solitude：意為“獨(dú)居，獨(dú)處”，文中指清靜自在。
13.traffic jams：交通堵塞
14.as long as：意為“只要;在……情況下”，引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。又如：I'm happy as long as you are happy.

2.A 第二段中所舉的三個(gè)城市都具有陰冷日短的氣候特點(diǎn)，這些不利的地理氣候條件使得當(dāng)?shù)鼐用裣蛲柟獬渥愕牡胤�。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選項(xiàng)A最接近題意。

On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert,a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers.The team employed a local wildlife expert Kitso Khama to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert.
Their main aim was to study the badgers'movements and behavior as discreetly(謹(jǐn)慎地) as possible without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior.They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animal’s reputation,this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
"The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals,especially when they see something new，" he says."That,combined with their unpredictable nature,can be a dangerous mixture.If they sense you have food,for example,they won't be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat.They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans,but as soon as they feel they might be in danger,they can become extremely vicious(兇惡的)。 Fortunately this is rare,but it does happen."
The research confirmed many things that were already known.As expected,honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill.Even poisonous snakes,feared and avoided by most other animals,were not safe from them.The researchers were surprised,however,by the animal's fondness for local melons,probably because of their high water content.Preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(獵物)。 The team also learnt that,contrary to previous research findings,the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups.They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research,including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge,since they can cover large distances in a short space of time.Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males,there are occasional fights over an important food source,and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people,it gave the team the to get up close to them without being the subject of the animal's curiosity—or sudden aggression.The badgers’ eating patterns,which had been disrupted,to normal.It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger,as these seemed to badgers'relaxed attitude when near humans.
31 Why did the wild life experts visit the Kalahari Desert?
A.To find where honey badgers live.
B.To observe how honey badgers behave.
C.To catch some honey badgers for food.
D.To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.
32 What does Kitso Khama say about honey badgers?
A.They show interest in things they are not familiar with.
B.They are always looking for food.
C.They do not enjoy human company.
D.It is common for them to attack people.
33 What did the team find out about honey badgers?
A.There were some creatures they did not eat.
B.They were afraid of poisonous creatures.
C.They may get some of the water they needed from fruit.
D.Female badgers did not mix with male badgers.
34 Which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?
A.They don't run very quickly.
B.They hunt over a very large area.
C.They defend their territory from other badgers.
D.They are more aggressive than females.
35 What happened when honey badgers got used to humans around them?
A.They lost interest in people.
B.They became less aggressive towards other creatures.
C.They started eating more.
D.Other animals started working with them.
答案：
31 B 第一段第三句：Their main aim was to study the badgers' movements and behaviour as screetly(謹(jǐn)慎地)as possible.可推斷出此次調(diào)查的目的是了解獾的習(xí)性。
32 C 第二段講述了Khama對(duì)獾的評(píng)價(jià)，即它們有很強(qiáng)的好奇心。
32 C 由第三段可知，獾對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)氐奈鞴虾芨信d趣，到水分。獾通常會(huì)吃它們所能抓到的任何動(dòng)物獾會(huì)組成松散的家庭，因此可排除D項(xiàng)。
34 B 第四段講了雄性獾的特征，它們能在短時(shí)間內(nèi)行進(jìn)很長(zhǎng)的距離，因此B項(xiàng)正確。它們樂意同其他雄性獾分享領(lǐng)地，因此C錯(cuò)誤。文中并沒有提到它們?cè)诤枚沸苑矫嫱菩遭档膮^(qū)別，因此排除D項(xiàng)。
35 A 最后一段第一句：As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people,it gave the team the chance to get up close to them without being the subject of the animals'curiosity - or their sudden aggression.獾在習(xí)慣人的存在之后興趣就不那么濃厚了。
