Broken: Dreams of Rural Peace
It was dusk in Tubney Woods, deep in rural Oxfordshire. The birds were singing at the end of another perfect day. The woman living at the edge of the forest could stand it no longer. She phoned the local noise pollution officer.
"It's the rooks （禿鼻烏鴉）," she said. "1 can't bear that awful cawing （呱呱地叫） noise. Can you do something about it?"
The call was no surprise to officials at the Vale of White Horse District Council. （46） The countryside, as every country-dweller knows, can be a hellishly （可怕地） noisy place.
Last week David Stead, a West Yorkshire farmer, appeared in court in Wakefield accused of allowing his cocks to break noise regulations by crowing （打鳴） at dawn, waking a neighbour. ?。?7） Six months ago Corky, a four-year-old cock, was banned from crowing after complaints in the Devon village of Stoke.
Complaints about noise reasonable or not - are at record levels in country areas. Environmental health officers say this is partly because of an increase in noisy activity. However, a significant number of complaints come from newcomers to the countryside.
There are many sources of rural noise. ?。?8） Mechanised grain driers, usually switched on for three weeks in September, can produce a maddening low-frequency hum. Mike Roberts, chief environmental health officer at Vale of White Horse, said noise often sounded worse in the countryside than in cities. With less background sound, unwelcome noises can seem louder and travel further.
The oddest complaints, however, are the ones council officials can do nothing about. Vale of White Horse officials have been asked to silence not only nesting rooks. Pigeons and pheasants （雉雞） have also caused concern. In Kent, council officials have been asked to silence baby lambs. ?。?9） Another insisted he could hear an alien spaceship landing over the garden fence.
"We get regular complaints. They usually come from retired people who have just moved into the country. We send them a polite letter."
And the lady who complained about the rooks? She was politely told she would have to put up with it. " （50）" said Mr Roberts. "In the end, she accepted there was nothing much she could do - except move out." It is not recorded who won, the lady or the rooks.
A Mr Stead said they were only doing what comes naturally.
B We asked her what we were supposed to do, shoot the birds, or chop the trees down?
C They have heard every kind of complaint.
D One man rang to say he was kept awake by the splashing of a fountain in the garden next door.
E The council will ask the farmer to move it
F Farm machinery is a common cause
答案:
46. C 47. A 48. F 49. D 50. B
今天我們來看職稱英語考試中最難的一部分：補(bǔ)全短文。我們在做這部分試題的時(shí)候，首先我們需要了解文章大意，即每一段的大意，然后還要去仔細(xì)分析文章中空出部分的前后句，找到有用的信息。在做這道題的時(shí)候，我主張大家放到考試最后處理，有多少時(shí)間用多少時(shí)間，不要把有限的時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在得分幾率比較小的試題上。我們不止一次講過的職稱英語應(yīng)試原則：抓大放小，避難就易！
首先，我們根據(jù)文章的標(biāo)題判明文章的方向。Broken: Dreams of Rural Peace 從這個(gè)標(biāo)題我們可以得到如下信息：1、文章的主要內(nèi)容Rural Peace講的是鄉(xiāng)村寂靜的環(huán)境；2、作者的態(tài)度：Broken被打破了。根據(jù)這兩個(gè)信息，我們可以得出文章的狠心內(nèi)容。
接下來我們看第一段：簡單掃視,我們無法找到一個(gè)表示總結(jié)的句，所以確定這里是舉例子。對于舉例子的段落，往往大意會(huì)在距萬例子后的分析中。緊跟的第二個(gè)段落是一個(gè)引言，也是第一段中的一個(gè)人的一段話，沒有太多的意義。我們簡單看一下例子：She phoned the local noise pollution officer.這是一個(gè)核心句子，點(diǎn)明了問題所在：噪音污染！
我們看第三段。段中有一個(gè)空缺的句子，段落的大意可以根據(jù)首句和尾句判斷出來：The call was no surprise to officials...和The countryside, as every country-dweller knows, can be a hellishly (可怕地) noisy place.講的是噪音污染非常嚴(yán)重的問題。問題46的上句講的是警察已經(jīng)對這類投訴電話習(xí)以為常了，下句講的是噪音污染的嚴(yán)重性。與投訴相關(guān)的答案只有一個(gè)：They have heard every kind of complaint.句子中的complaint是投訴的意思，與本文章開始的那個(gè)女士的例子是一致的。
我們看第四段。第四段出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容就兩句話，這就需要我們分析這兩句話的具體意思了。第一句： Last week David Stead, a West Yorkshire farmer, appeared in court in Wakefield accused of allowing his cocks to break noise regulations by crowing (打鳴) at dawn, waking a neighbour.講的是一個(gè)案子，一個(gè)叫David Stead的農(nóng)場主因?yàn)樽约旱墓u早上打鳴影響鄰居被蘇訴。最后一句：Six months ago Corky, a four-year-old cock, was banned from crowing after complaints in the Devon village of Stoke.講的是公雞被禁止打鳴。中間缺的句子肯定與農(nóng)場主和公雞有關(guān)。前一句講的是被告，后一句講的是判決。我們根據(jù)這個(gè)線索去找答案就可以了。選項(xiàng)沒有與公雞有關(guān)的，但與Steady有關(guān)的有一個(gè)，與farmer有關(guān)的有一個(gè)。Steady相關(guān)的講的是他無奈的等待最后的判決；與農(nóng)場主相關(guān)的時(shí)搬家。很顯然，搬家與后句不符，所以只能是A。
好，我們接下去看第五段。首句Complaints about noise reasonable or not - are at record levels in country areas.講的是現(xiàn)實(shí)：不管這些抱怨合理與否，但已經(jīng)創(chuàng)記錄了。尾句：However, a significant number of complaints come from newcomers to the countryside.很明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折，抱怨的人主要是新來的人。
接下去，先看段首句：There are many sources of rural noise.最明顯的主題句！文章要講噪音污染的污染源了。尾句：With less background sound, unwelcome noises can seem louder and travel further.講的是原因。因?yàn)闆]有背景聲音，噪音聽起來更大，船的更遠(yuǎn)。我們看48的前后句。前句很明確的主題句，即總分關(guān)系，后句Mechanised grain driers, usually switched on for three weeks in September, can produce a maddening low-frequency hum.講了幾種污染源。我們可以肯定，48也是一種與后句相關(guān)的污染源?？创鸢福v污染源的只有F，農(nóng)用機(jī)械式主要的污染源。
下一段。首句：The oddest complaints, however, are the ones council officials can do nothing about. 講的是法官都沒轍的關(guān)于噪音污染的投訴。尾句：Another insisted he could hear an alien spaceship landing over the garden fence.還有人投訴說他聽見外星飛船在他家花園著陸的聲音。結(jié)合前后句，我們知道這里講的是一些讓人莫名其妙的投訴。這樣我們很容易找到答案D：有人打電話投訴說他被鄰居家花園里的噴水池噴水的聲音吵醒了。這是比較奇怪的投訴，屬于本段的內(nèi)容。
接下來是一段引用，很明顯是處理上一段奇怪的投訴的警察的，內(nèi)容較簡單，不詳細(xì)解釋。
我們看最后一段。首句：And the lady who complained about the rooks?還記得那個(gè)投訴烏鴉的女士嗎？看到這里我們趕緊回憶一下，什么地方將這個(gè)故事。對了，文章的開頭。尾句：It is not recorded who won, the lady or the rooks.沒有記錄顯示到底是烏鴉還是女士最終勝訴。綜合這兩句，我們知道本段講的是文章第一段的故事的處理方法的問題?？磫栴}50的前句：She was politely told she would have to put up with it.她被告知她只能容忍一下。后一句：羅伯特說：“In the end, she accepted there was nothing much she could do - except move out.”最后，他只能接受一現(xiàn)實(shí)搬出去是的選擇。兩句之間講的是如何處理女士投訴的問題。我們找答案，只有B是講怎樣處理這只鳥的：是把它打下來，還是砍這棵樹？
總結(jié)：由于本部分試題難度比較大，要求大家在做題的時(shí)候看懂全文，然后再根據(jù)前后句關(guān)系判斷合適的句子。
閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章后面有6組文字，請根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字，將其分別放回文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。請將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
