4、界限区分。国家在每位考生评定职称的时候，到底要求是理工类成绩，卫生类成绩，基本上国家还没有明确规定。假如你评定主任医师，卫生类职称，你可以考综合类，也可以考卫生类。严格意义上没有很严格的要求。到底决定报综合类，理工类，还是卫生类，有两个依据。首先问一下自己单位的人，要评定职称要报什么类比较合适。如果单位没有明确要求和规定的话，可以根据自己的现实情况选择，如果工作中接触的文章都是理工类的文章，那就报理工类。假如接触的文章是社会类文章，那就报综合类。免考规定取得外语（从事翻译工作人员及外语教师第二外语）专业专科及以上学历的人员申报中、高级职称评审;获得博士学位申报高级（含正高级）职称评审;获得硕士

8、osed the windows.2.She is close to success.两句话里都有close,但是词性不同，第一句话里的是动词，因为有形式上的变化(-ed)；而第二句话里的close跟 在is的后面，而且形式上没有变化，因此判断为形容词。当寻找他们的同义词时，应针对不同的词性加以判断。这一点对于大家来说非常重要！第二中：分不清划线单词是原形，现在分词或过去式：如：Her sister urged her to apply for the job.(P602)advised B.caused C.forced D.promised如果去字典里查urged,当然是查不到的。Tick

9、ets are limited and will be allocated to those who apply first.(P461)postedB.SentC.handedD.Given5接下来，我们一起练儿题，大家可以八仙过海各显神通，看谁做得又快又好！1.Practically a ll animals communicate through sounds.A.Clearly B.Almost C.Absolutely D.Basically2.The story was very touching.A.Inspiring B.Boring C.Moving D.absorbingY

15、 step outside to gaze at theirnight sky.On a clear night,with no clouds,moonlight,or artificial lightsto block the view,people can see more than 14,000 stars in the sky,saysDennis Ward,an astronomer with the University Corporation forAtmospheric Research(UCAR)ir)Boulder,Colo.But when people aresurro

27、明亮的夜晚，昏暗的星空。只是看题目，还不易推测出文章的主要内容，因此，要快速浏览全文，看能否找到出现频率较高的词或短语，它们有可能就是文章的核心！大家看到了我用黑线标出了出现频率最多的短语：light pollution.所以可以推测文章的内容和光污染有关。接下来判断所给5题的题型，我们发现1至4都是细节题，因此只需要找到关键词逐一回答即可。而 第5题是主旨题，而且是最后一题，所以要等文章读完后最后做。1.When can people see 14000 stars?A When they have a fairly good telescope 当他们有一个非常不错的望远镜.B When

28、they are in a large city 当他们在大城市时.iiC When the night skv is clear of clouds,moonlight and artificial lights当夜空中没有云、月光和人造灯光时.D When the night sky is without haze and fog 当夜空没有阴霾和大雾时.分析：关键词很容易找14000 stars,在第一段出现了该词：Thousands of people（数以千计的人）around the globe（世界上）step outside（走出去）to gaze at（凝视）their ni

29、ght sky.On a clear（晴朗的）night,with no clouds,moonlight,or artificial（人造的）lights to block（遮挡、挡住）the view,people can see more than 14,000stars in the skv（答案 C）,says Dennis Ward,an astronomer（天文学家）with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research（UCAR）inBoulder,Colo.But when people are surrounded

30、（被。包围）by citylights,he says,theyre lucky to see 150 stars.补充：请注意短语：be clear of sth:无阻碍、障碍、危险如：Wait until the road is clear of traffic before crossing.（等到路上没车时再过马路。）2.Which of the following statements（叙述）is related t。（同。有关）light pollution?A A haze of light is formed from artificial lights such as str

31、eetlights andbuilding lightsC阴霾的光是由人造光而形成的,如路灯和建筑物的光）.B Lights from different sources in the city stream into space and12illuminate the night sky来自于不同来源的光进入太空并照亮了夜空.C The night sky is illuminated by the lights from big glowing cities in thenight夜空由晚上大城市发出的光照亮.D Stargazing（star+gazing 观望星星）becomes di

32、fficult because thereis a layer of haze in the air由于空气中有一层霾，所以观望星星变得困难.分析：本题的关键词是light pollution,而且按照题目的题号应该在文章的前面，所以从第二段找找看：If youve ever driven toward a big city at night and seen its glow from agreat distance（答案 C）youve witnessed（见证、目睹）lightpollution.It occurs when light from streetlights,office

33、buildings,signs,and other sources streams into space and illuminates the night sky（答案A,B 表述）.This haze of light makes many stars invisible to people onEarth.Even at night,big cities like New York glow from light pollution,making stargazingdifficult（请注意这句话并不是答案D,他们不同，该句是说：甚至在晚上，许多像纽约这样的大城市所产生的灯光使观望星星

34、变得困难。）所以，D 的表述同光污染没有关联。3.Does the writer think growing cities affect astronomers/work?Whydoes he think so?A Yes.Because the once dark rural areas are polluted bv lights 因为曾经黑暗的乡村地区被光污染了.13B No.Because they Call still see stars in rural areas.C.Yes.Because rural areas are not a good place for astrono

35、mers to studystars因为乡村地区不是一个好的研究星星的地方。D.No.Because faint light given off by stars call still be seen on a clearnight分析：题目是说：不断扩大的城市会影响天文学家的工作吗？为什么他会这样认为？在A答案中我们可以看到线索词:polluted和lights.所以，根据阅读的规律，只要和线索词有关的答案，多半就是最终答案。如果大家想检查答案是否正确的话，也可以带着关键词astronomers去找答案：Hazy skies also make it far more difficult f

36、or astronomers to do theirjobs.通过对句子的分析，排 除 答 案B,D.留下A,C.在接下来的段落中可以对答案加以判断：Cities are getting larger.Suburbs（郊区）are growing in once dark,ruralareas.Light from all this new development is increasinglyobscuring（使。变得模糊）the faint（微弱的）light given off by distantstars.And if scientists cant locate（确定。的位置）t

37、hese objects,they cant learn more about them.总结：做阅读理解时大家需要牢牢抓住文章的中心或核心词，只要被选项中有核心内容的出现就可以推测为正确答案！4.How does light pollution affect wildlife?Which of the following is NOT14correct?A.Animals may go off course due to the attraction of artificial lights由于受到人造光的吸引，动物们可能偏离航向.B.Animals might be attracted b

38、v artificial lights to go into cities.动物们可能会受到人造光的吸引而进入城市C.Artificial lights at night may make migrating birds lose their way.夜间的人造光可能会使迁徙的鸟类们迷路D Attracted by artificial lights,birds fly into lighted buildings.由于受到人造光的吸引，鸟类飞进有光的建筑物里。分析：题目是说：光污染是如何影响野生动物？下列哪个说法不正确？关键词就是wildlife,在最后一段里，可以找到内容：Light po

39、llution doesn/t only affect star visibility.It can harm wildlifetoo.Its clear that artificial light call attract animals,making them go offcourse”（答案 A）.There/s increasing evidence.For example,thatmigrating birds use sunsets and sunrises t。help find their way,saysSydney Gauthreaus Jr.,a scientist at

40、 Clemson University in SouthCarolina.When light occurs at night,“he says,“it has a very disruptive（破坏性的）influence（答案 C）.Sometimes birds fly into lightedtowers（答案 D）,high rises,and cables from radio and televisiontowers.Experts estimate that millions of birds die this way every year.所以，答案B 并未提到。155.W

41、hich of the following is closest（最接近的）in meaning（意思）to thetitleLight Night,Dark Stars?A.The night sky is light colored and stars are black 夜空是浅色的而星星是黑色的.B.Lights appear at night and stars are seen in the dark光显现在夜晚而在黑暗中人们看见星星.C.Cities lights illunfinate the night skv and make stars invisible城市的灯光照亮了

42、夜空而使得星星已经无法看见.D City lights at night illuminate stars in the sky.夜晚的城市的灯光照亮了天空中的星星。分析：本题是唯一的一道主旨题，所以需要纵观全文。通过我们对前4题的解答，完全可以判断出文章的主题就是说：由于不断扩大的城市，越来越多的城市灯光，已经成为一种污染，使得天空中的星星黯然失色，所以答案就是C。例二：Declining Interest in Developing Foreign Language Skills1.Australias foreign language skills are declining,voice

54、。通过理解题目，我们可以推测一下，在文章中 foreign languages 和 declining interest 应是核心词。接下来，来看5 道题的题目，对出题方式加以判断：1,3,4 都是细节题，而 2 题是推断题；5 题是词语释义题。针对不同出题方式的题目要以不同的方法加以应对。1.How much percent 百分数 of high school graduates(高中毕业生)were proficient(精通的)in foreign languages forty years ago(4019年前）?A）70.B）13.C）40.D）6.5.分析：这是细节题，关键词：h

57、age.分析：题目中有in fe r,所以该题是推断题。因此，需要读第二段，寻找核心内容，主要是要找到关键句：Professor Elise Tipton,from the University of Sydney,says increasinglystudents do not feel the need to learn another language to boost theircareer.She believes that Australias economic boom（经济的繁荣），which is driven（受至驱动）by red-hot（非常有活力的）demand（要2

59、ons.D.Increase trading opportunities.分析：这是一道标准的细节题，中心词就是：Dilip Duttao带着它，我们可以在第三段里搜索到相关的语句：Dilip Dutta,from the economice and business faculty at SydneyUniversity,says language skills can enhance trading opportunities（答案 D出处！）.IF Australians want to trade with Asian countries,it is veryimportant for
