2014年职称英语理工类AB级阅读判断重要考点

　　考点1：考察代词的指代内容

　　18.When we dream, there is less movement of electrical wavesin our brains.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　B. 解析：问题句说在我们做梦的时候， 我们大脑中的脑电波运动较少 从句意上看，该题属于细节题。利用问题句中的细节信息词和brains)作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：

　　Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves movemore quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under the lids,just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals studied,including dogs,monkeys,cats,and elephants,and also some birds and reptiles .This period of sleep is called theDstate for around 50% of their sleep;the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.

　　答案相关句说科学家们可以借助一种检测大脑中脑电波的设备检测出人是否在做梦。该句没有谈到做梦与脑电波之间的关系， 于是接着关注接下来的句子。接下来的句子说During dreaming,these waves move more quickly， 根据代词前指的特性判断these waves就是指答案相关句中提到的脑电波， 综合这两句话的内容得出的结论是做梦时脑电波运动较快， 显然问题句提供了错误信息。

　　考点2：考察推断能力

　　19.Babies dream less than older childrenA. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　B. 解析：问题句说婴儿做的梦比儿童做的梦少。从句意上看，该题属于细节题。利用问题句中的细节信息作为答案线索, 在文章中查找答案相关句：

　　Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under the lids,just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals studied, including dogs,monkeys,cats,and elephants,and also some birds and reptiles . This period of sleep is called theDstate. Babies experience the Dstate for around 50% of their sleep;the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10

　　答案相关句说婴儿大约一半的睡眠时间都处于D状态， 这种状态到10岁的时候就减少到了大约25%， 现在需要确定D状态是否与做梦相关。 答案相关句的前一句说这个时期的睡眠被称为D状态， 代词通常都是前指，因此继续关注前文内容。 其前一句提到这些做梦的迹象在所有的哺乳动物中都已经被检测到。这些做梦的迹象是指前文中提到的在做梦期间出现的呼吸频率， 脉搏频率加快等做梦迹象， 结合以上内容判断 这个时期的睡眠就是指做梦的状态， 即D状态。 因此判断答案相关句是说婴儿大约一半的睡眠时间都处于做梦状态， 这种状态到10岁的时候就减少到了大约25%， 由此推断出婴儿比儿童的做梦时间长，因此问题句提供了错误信息。

　　考点3: 细节信息的查找和确认

　　)

　　20. The sun is the heaviest star in the universe.

　　A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

　　C.解析：问题句说太阳是宇宙中最重的恒星， 从句意上判断该题内容涉及文章中的细节信息， 属于细节信息题。 利用问题句中的特征词作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句：

　　Black Holes

　　Most scientists agree that black holes exist but are nearly impossible to locate. A black hole in the universe is not a solid object, like a planet, but it is shaped like a sphere .Astronomersthink that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in space with infinitedensity.This single point is called a singularity .If the singularity theory is correct, it means that when a massive star collapses, all the material in it disappears into the singularity. The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at all, but an infinitely dense point. Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great gravity.

　　Although black holes do exist, they are difficult to observe. These are the reasons.

　　No light or anything else comes out of black holes. As a result, they are invisible to a telescope.

　　In astronomical terms, black holes are truly. For example, a black hole formed by the collapse of a giant star would have an event horizononly 18 miles across.

　　The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth. One light year is about 6 trillionmiles. Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object so small at such a great distance.

　　In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist. There are still answers to be found, however,so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe.

　　结果发现文章中根本没有提到太阳， 也没有提到the heaviest/最重的， 因此判断问题句的内容在文章中没有提到。

　　提示：

　　如果问题句中的全部或部分信息在文章没有呼应内容，则应该判断该问题句的信息在文章中没有提及。
