Eiffel Is an Eyeful(環(huán)球網(wǎng)校2016年職稱英語考試《理工類》閱讀理解第三套練習)
Some 300 meters up,near the Eiffel Tower's wind-whipped summit the world comes to scribble.Japanese,Brazilians.Americans-they graffiti their names,loves and politics on the cold iron-transforming the most French of monuments into symbol of a world on the move.
With Pairs laid out in miniature below,it seems strange that visitors would rather waste time marking their presence than admiring the view.But the graffiti also raises a question:Why,nearly 114 years after it was completed,and decades after it ceased to be the world's tallest structure,is the Tour Eiffel still so popular?
The reasons are as complex as the iron work that graces a structure some 90 stories high.But part of the answer is,no doubt,its agelessness,regularly maintained,it should never rust away.Graffiti is regularly painted over,but the tower lives on.
"Eiffel represents Paris and Paris is France.It is very symbolic,"says Hugues Richard,a 31-year-old Frenchman who holds the record for cycling up to the tower's second floor-747 steps in 19 minutes and 4 seconds,without touching the floor with his feet."It's iron lady,it inspires us,"he says.
But to what?After all,the tower doesn't have a purpose.It ceased to be the world's tallest in 1930 when the Chrysler Building went up in New York.Yes,television and radio signals are beamed from the top,and Gustave Eiffel,a frenetic builder who died on December 27,aged 91,used its height for conducting research into weather,aerodynamics and radio communication.
But in essence the tower inspires simply by being there-a blank canvas for visitors to make of it what they will.To the technically minded,it's an engineering triumph.For lovers,it's romantic.
"The tower will outlast all of us,and by a long way,"says Isabelle Esnous,whose company.manages Eiffel Tower.

參考答案:(環(huán)球網(wǎng)校2016年職稱英語考試《理工類》閱讀理解第三套練習)
31.B 第一段提供了答案。
32.A 第二段第一句中的句型would rather do something than do something else,也可以用prefer doing something to doing something else的句型來表達。所以,A是正確答案。
33.C 第四段告訴我們,Hugues Richard蹬車上塔,打破世界紀錄。C不是正確選項,因為他cycling up to the tower‘s second floor,而不是climbing up the tower.
34.B 選項A不是正確選項,因為Gustave Eiffel沒有也不可能使用該塔向全世界發(fā)射電視信號。第五段的最后一句提供了答案。
35.C 第六段的大意是:對不同的人,埃菲爾鐵塔有不同的象征意義。

Britain’s Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight,going out on sailing trips with her aunt.She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat.When she was 18,she sailed alone around Britain and won the“Young Sailor of the Year”award.
But Ellen really became famous in 2001.Aged only 24,she was one of the only two women who en-tered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race,which lasts l00 days.Despite many problems,she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen’s personality.When she was youn-ger,she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race.Then she took a one-way ticket to France,bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht(游艇),slept under it while she was repairing it,and then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 1997,alone for 33 days.(環(huán)球網(wǎng)校2016年職稱英語考試《理工類》閱讀理解第三套練習)
Ellen has had to learn many things,because sailing single—handed means that she has to be her own captain,electrician,sailmaker,engineer,doctor,journalist,cameraman and cook.She also has to be very fit,and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time she’s in the middle of the ocean,she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage.Once,in the middle of the ocean,she had to climb the mast(桅桿)of a boat to repair the sails—at four o’clock in the mornin9.with l00kph winds blowing around her.It took her many hours to make the repairs;Ellen says:“I was exhausted when I came down.It’s hard to describe how it feels to be up there.It’s like trying to hold onto a big pole,which for me is just too big to get my arms around,with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off”.
But in her diary,Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的):“A beautiful sunrise started the day,with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.I have a very strong feeling of pleasure,being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this.I just feel lucky to be here”.

Benefits of Educating Girl
The benefits of educating girls are numerous — to individual girls both when they are young and when they become adult women, to their future families, and to society as whole. Education enables women to contribute more fully to the social and economic development of their societies. A girl's education is also an investment in future generations. The more educated a mother is, the more likely are her children — particularly her daughters — to roll and stay in school.
The higher level of education attained by women is strongly associated with lower child death. Experts believe more educated women practice better hygiene and nutrition(營養(yǎng)), use health services more frequently, and survive better. Woman with more schooling tend to be healthier themselves. Perhaps reflecting their improved ability to avoid frequent childbearing (分娩)and to take advantage of available health services during pregnancy(懷孕).(環(huán)球網(wǎng)校2016年職稱英語考試《理工類》閱讀理解第三套練習)
The educational level achieved by women, like family planning services, has the most powerful influence on family size. The impact of education on family size is strongest and most consistent for women who have completed some secondary schooling. Educating girls is three times more likely to lower family size than educating boys. Education appears to affect family size in many ways. More educated women not only want fewer children than their less educated husbands, but also are more likely to use effective contraception(避孕) successfully and to limit their families to the number of children, which contribute to smaller family size.
Family size is ideal and child death rates are lowest, therefore, in countries that combine strong family planning and health programs with high levels of education for women.
31 According to the article, families and the whole society benefit from women's
A work.
B education.
C effort.
D health.
32 According to the article, mother's education has an effect on children's
A personality.

C better utilization of nutrition.
D management of family resources.
34 In what way do women contribute to the small family size according to the text?
A By educating their children.
B By marrying late.
C By supporting the small family.
