2015年职称英语教材理工类阅读判断第一篇：Inventor of LED附译文
http://www.studypay.com/english/zhicheng/2014/15103.html
第一篇 Inventor of LED
When Nick Holonyak set out to create a new kind of visible lighting using semiconductor alloys, his colleagues thought he was unrealistic. Today, his discovery of light-emitting diodes or1 LEDs, are used in everything from DVDs to alarm clocks to airports. Dozens of his students have continued his work, developing lighting used in traffic lights and other everyday technology.
On April 23, 2004, Holonyak received the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize at a ceremony in Washington. This marks the 10th year that the Lemelson-MIT Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）has given the award to prominent inventors.
"Anytime you get an award, big or little2, it's always a surprise," Holonyak said.
Holonyak, 75, was a student of John Bardeen, an inventor of the transistor, in the early 1950s. After graduate school3, Holonyak worked at Bell Labs. He later went to General Electric4, where he invented a switch now widely used in house dimmer switches5.
Later, Holonyak started looking into how semiconductors could be used to generate light. But while his colleagues were looking at how to generate invisible light, be wanted to generate visible light. The LEDs he invented in 1962 now last about 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, and are more environmentally friendly and cost effective.
Holonyak, now a professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at the University of Illinois, said he suspected that LEDs would become as commonplace as they are today. But didn't realize how many uses they would have.
"You don't know in the beginning. You think you're doing something important, you think it's worth doing, but you really can't tell what the big payoff is going to be, and when, and how. You just don't know," he said.
The Lemelson-MIT Program also recognized Edith Flanigen, 75, with the $100,000 Lemelson- MIT Lifetime Achievement Award for her work on a new generation of "molecular sieves" that can separate molecules by size.
词汇：
semiconductor / ‚semɪkən’dʌktə(r) / n．半导体
alloy / ’ælɔɪ, ə’lɔɪ / n．合金
emit / ɪ’mɪt / v．发射，发出

incandescent / ,ɪnkæn’desnt / adj．白炽的
bulb / bʌlb / n．灯泡
commonplace / ’kɒmənpleɪs / adj．普通的
molecular / mə(ʊ)’lekjʊlə(r) / adj．分子的

答案与题解：
1．A 第一段第一句就说：“When Nick Holonyak set out to create a new kind of visible lighting using semiconductor alloys, his colleagues thought he was unrealistic.”
2．C通篇文章没有提到Holonyak相信他的学生将获得Lemelson-MIT Prize这件事。
3．B第四段说到发明晶体管的是Holonyak的老师John Bardeen，不是Holonyak本人。
4．A 第六段的句子“ ... he suspected that LEDs would become as commonplace as they are today ...”就包含了popular的意思。
5．C通篇文章（包括第七段）没有提到“不要做你不感兴趣的事”。
6．C通篇文章没有提到Edith Flanigen是Holonyak发明LEDs的合作者，更不要说是唯一的合作者。
7．B 第二段说到，2004年是the Lemelson-MIT Prize成立10周年，按此推算，the Lemelson- MIT Prize是在1994年设立的。
2015年职称英语教材理工类阅读判断: Inventor of LED
参考译文
第一篇 LED的发明者
当Nick Holonyak着手用半导体合金创造一种新的可视照明设备的时候，同事们都认为他不现实。今天，他发现的发光二极管，或叫LED,使用范围覆盖从DVD到机场警钟的一切东西。他的许多学生继续着他的工作，发明了交通灯中使用的照明设备和其他日用技术。
2004年4月23日，Holonyak在华盛顿的一次典礼上被授予Lemelson-MIT项目的50万美元的奖金。这是麻省理工的Lemelson-MIT项目第十年颁奖给杰出的发明人。
“任何时候你得了奖，不论是大是小，总是一分惊喜。”Holonyak说。
Holonyak，75岁，是20世纪50年代初期晶体管的发明者John Bardeen的学生。从研究生院毕业之后，Holonyak在Bell实验室工作。之后去了通用电器公司，在那里他发明了一种开关，现在在家用减光开关中普遍使用。
后来，Holonyak开始研究何应用半导体发电。当他的同事们正在研究如何发出看不见的光时，他却想要看得见的光。1962年他发明的LED,现在的使用寿命可以比白炽灯泡长十倍，而且更环保、更经济。
Holonyak现在是伊利诺伊大学电子、计算机工程和物理专业的教授，他说他预料到LED的使用有可能像今天这样普遍，但没有意识到它会有多少用途。
“开始的时候你并不知道，你认为你在做一件很重要的事情，你认为它值得做，但是你不能说出要付出多大的代价，什么时候付出，怎样付出。你并不知道。”他说。
Lemelson-MIT项目同样授予75岁的Edith Flanigen 10万美元的终身成就奖，她的成就是创造新一代的“分子筛”，也就是可以通过大小来分离分子。

Skyscrapers and Environment
In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities.
Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kilowatts-enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.
Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss (or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.
Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation facilities, too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25 million gallons of raw sewage each year-as much as a city the size of Stanford, Connecticut , which has a population of more than 109, 000.
摩天大楼与环境
在60年代末，在许多北美人把注意力转向了环境问题，新钢和玻璃摩天大楼受到了广泛的批评。生态学家指出的高层建筑在城市群往往覆盖层的公共交通与停车场的能力。
摩天大楼的过度消费者与浪费电力。在最近的某一年，17万摩天大楼在纽约市的办公空间平方英尺120除了提高了电能的最高日需求量为000千瓦，足以供应一天的奥尔巴尼，纽约，整个城市。
玻璃幕墙的摩天大楼特别地浪费。热损失通过半英寸的平板玻璃墙壁（或增益）是十倍以上通过一个典型的加入绝缘板的砖石墙。为了减轻取暖和空气调节设备的压力，摩天大楼的建造者们已经开始使用玻璃双层玻璃面板，和反射玻璃，金色或银色反光薄膜，减少强光照射和热量的增加涂层。不过，镜面的摩天大楼会提高周围空气的温度，影响附近的建筑物。
摩天大楼也对城市的卫生设施造成了沉重的压力。如果完全被占满，这两个世界贸易中心大楼，纽约市将单独产生225万加仑未经处理的污水每年年度高达一城市的斯坦福，康涅狄格州，它拥有超过109万人口规模。

1. 此处需要填一个副词作状语。备选单词中有两个副词: somewhere意思是“在某处”, inside意思是“在内部,在里边”。分析此句可排除 inside,因为此处后边已经有了地点状语in your room了,再填 inside就显得重复了。此句意思是:“那么你很可能把钱放在你屋里的某个地方”。
2. 此处缺少谓语动词,需要填一个现在分词。备选单词中只有 saving一个现在分词,故 saving为正确答案;此外,第一段已出现过saving for这个词组,此处填 saving非常适合语境:如果你攒钱是为了较大的开支……。
3. 此题旨在考查“help+宾语+(to) do”的用法,因此此处需要填一个动词原形。备选单词中有四个动词:earn意思是“赚得,获得”;pay意思是“付款,补偿”;grow意思是“生长,增加”; raise意思是“提高,升高”。根据句意,earn为正确答案, earn money属于常见搭意思是“挣钱,赚钱”。其他几个词与 money搭配不符合此处语境,故都排除。
4. 此处需要填一个形容词。备选单词中有三个形容词:long,same和 different,根据上下文意思和此句句意不难判断此处应填same, the same经常捆绑使用。此句意思是:“如果你把钱放在家里的储蓄罐里(而不是放在银行里),那么一年以后那里面的钱还是和你放进去的一样多”。
5. 很明显此处需要填一个名词。此句上段提到了把钱放在银行里和放在家里的两种选择,这一段讨论把钱放在银行里的情况,故此处应填bank;此外,备选单词中名词只有bank(银行)和 Interest(利率,利息), interest不符合此处句意,故排除。
6. 此处需要填一个名词作主语。备选单词中的两个名词已用了一个,现只剩下interest(利率,利息)。上句说“你如果把钱放在银行里,你会挣得利息”,顺承上句意思,此处作者解释什么是“利息”。
7. 此处需要填一个形容词作定语修饰后面的名词time。备选单词中的三个形容词中,same已用过, different不符合此句句意,故都排除。此句意思是:“如果你有钱而且长时间不使用的话,那么把钱放在银行里是使钱生钱的好办法”。
8. 此题旨在考查使役动词make的用法:make+宾语+动词原形,此处应该填一个动词。备选单词中的四个动词中grow是不及物动词,从语法和语境上都适合此处。
9. 助动词will后面肯定需要接动词原形。备选单词中的四个动词已用了两个:earn和grow,现只剩下pay和 raise。根据上下文意思和常见搭配,pay为正确答案, pay sb.sth.是常见配。此句意思是:“既然银行在这段时间内使三用你的线,那么它会付你利息”。
10. 此处需要填一个形容词作定语。备选单词中的三个形容词中,same和long都已用过,故都排除,现只剩下 different; different非常适合此处语境:银行支付不同的利率。

Cell Phones： Hang Up or Keep Talking？
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries， cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serous debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand， why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones？ Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning （扫描） equipment. In one case， a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn‘t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day， every day of his working week， for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use， but his employer’s doctor didn‘t agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues， it appears that it‘s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient， especially in emergencies. In the future， mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now， it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often

41．People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A．they’re popular.
B．they’re useful.
C．they’re convenient.
D．they’re cheap.
解析：问题问的是哪一项不是人们买手机的原因。这个需要排除，在第一段” cell phones are very popular with young people”可知A选项是原因之一，在最后一段，”Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies.”可知选项BC正确，所以答案选择D。
42．The word “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A．cured.
B．removed.
C．caused.
D．discovered.
解析：词汇题。查字典，直接得出答案D。
43．The salesman retired young because
A．he disliked using mobile phones.
B．he couldn’t remember simple tasks.
C．he was tired of talking on his mobile phone.
D．his employer’s doctor persuaded him to.
解析：由题干”salesman retired young”可以定位到第三段，”……because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks.”由此可知他很年轻就退休的原因是记忆力退化，一些简单的工作任务都记不住。因此答案选择B。
44．On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A．deny the existence of mobile phone radiation.
B．develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation.
C．try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health.
D．hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about.
解析：这里的关键词是手机生产商对手机安全的态度，在第四段”Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.”由此可知，手机生产商承认有辐射，但是辐射量很小，不足以引起担心。所以答案选择B。
45．The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A．to buy mobile phones.
B．to stop using mobile phones.
C．to update regular phones.
D．to use mobile phones less often.
解析：这一题问的是作者的写作目的，是主观题。作者的写作目的一般在首段或者尾段能找到。本文最后一段第一句话”As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often.”以及最后一句” So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.”可以看出作者是建议大家尽量少用手机。
