2013年中石油職稱英語考試試題及答案4(word版)

　　Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:

　　As more Americans do more things online, Intemet identity theft is a growing--and very costly--problem. Consider the following six aspects and learn the best ways to protect yourself.

　　Guard Your Personal Information. Never respond to requests for personal or account information online (or over the phone). When your social security number is requested as an identifier, ask if you can provide alternate information. Watch out for convincing imitations of banks, card companies, charities and government agencies.Use legitimate sources of contact information to verify requests for information,such as your financial institution’s official website or the telephone number listed on statements.

　　Don’t overshare. Don’t divulge your birth date, mother’s maiden name, pet’s name or any other identifying information on social media websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.

　　Beware of Fake Online Sweepstakes and Contests. All offers that require payment or private information before giving an award are bogus. Take the time to check out the validity of an offer. Ask for contact information from the sender and details about the company running the contest. Once you start asking a lot of questions and make it clear you won’t be pushed to make an immediate decision,most scammers will go away.

　　Ask What Your Bank Is Doing to Protect You. Understand banks’ guarantees for fraud protection: all large providers now offer zero-liability protection for debit and credit cards, while a few offer a guarantee for online banking transactions.

　　Keep a Close Eye on Your Finances. Monitor your bank and credit card accounts weekly. Sign up for alerts to be sent to your mobile phone or email.Monitor your credit and public information online to spot unauthorized activity. Free credit reports from each of the three major credit bureaus are available each year through annualcreditreport.com. Optional fee-based services offer more extensive monitoring of credit information, personal identity records, social security numbers and online transactions.

　　Report It. If you’re a victim of online fraud, contact the authorities. You can file an online report with the Intemet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)--a partnership between the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center, and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Also contact your local police to file a report. The more people who report such crimes, the more criminals are arrested.

　　Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:

　　More people than ever before are now going to dentists’ office, but half of the United States population will not see a dentist. The reason is quite simple. As most dentists believe, they are scared. And really, what experience is worse than seeing a traditional dentist? You wait in silence, thumbing through old magazines, in a sterile white waiting room in which no one ever speaks. All is silent until an assistant calls your name and leads you back to another white room, this one filled with machinery to frighten you still further.

　　At the Medical College of Georgia, dentists are taught principles of behavior and techniques of office design that should help reduce the patient’s anxiety and tension. Assistants and receptionists are taught to smile and speak to the patient. This helps create an atmosphere of trust. Dentists themselves are being taught to communicate more fully with the patient. A phrase such as "you’re doing fine" tells the patient that the dentist is appreciative of the patient’s predicament. These phrases also help by rewarding the tolerance of pain.

　　Dentists’ offices are being repainted in "earth tones," brown, green, tan and other soothing colors. A startling color such as red should be avoided at all costs; red brings to mind blood and pain. Paintings and other distractions are strategically located; music is piped in to help the patients ignore his or her pain. Until recently, dentists had ignored the fact that most patients never see much more than the ceiling of the practice room. Most of the time, patients are lying flat on their backs with little to busy their minds other than their pains. Now dentists are not only building ceilings with fancy patterns, but also distracting their patients with ceiling TV set, computer games and mazes, and mobile sculptures. One quick technique involves

　　placing mirrors so patients can distract themselves by watching fish in a tank located near the ceiling.

　　Less drastic changes include redoing the practice rooms to include less of the sterile color white and redesigning the machinery a dentist must use to make it appear less frightening. Uniforms are also being made in pastel and earth colors, no longer in white. Some dentists go much further. They take an active role in teaching their patients to relax; some are teaching their patients deep muscle relaxation and breathing control. Some use advanced techniques, such as hypnosis and biofeedback to help their patients relax in the chair. Drugs and painkillers may still be used to ease physical pain, but all these techniques of relaxation help the patient relax and avoid anxiety over their pain.

　　57. The main idea of this passage is that

　　A. most people are anxious about physical pain.

　　B. physical surroundings affects people’s emotional reactions.

　　C. decoration is the primary factor in relieving the patient’s fears.

　　D. earth tones are soothing colors.

　　58. Some dentists distract their patients with

　　A. mobile sculptures

　　B. television sets

　　C. computer games

　　D. all of the above

　　59. We can conclude from the passage that

　　A. being anxious and tense increase the pain a patient feels.

　　B. being anxious and tense cause the pain a patient feels.

　　C. relaxation blocks out all pain.

　　D. patients feel more pain if they think the dentist is concerned with their feelings.

　　60. The passage suggests that

　　A. most pain associated with dentistry is caused by unprofessional dentists.

　　B. some of the pain felt by patients may be psychological.

　　C. dentists’ offices are usually painted white because they must be kept sterile.

　　D. warm colors ease physical pain.
