参考答案:C进入在线模考
【译文】这个年轻的职员有一个非常好的优点:他十分诚实。
【解析】近义形容词辨析题。选项都有“可敬可亲”之意,但也有细微的差别。respectable指行为、衣着符合社会规范而“得体、可敬”,如a respectable neighborhood(高尚住宅区)。admirable指拥有很多“令人钦佩的”良好品质,如admirable achievements。decent指遵从大多数人认可的道德行为标准而“正派的,规矩的”。approachable“容易接近的,友善的”。句中说该职员诚实,强调他的道德品质,故用C最合适。

1根据下列文字,回答题。Do you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or completely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these as characteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled.
This typifies the way in which engineers work to help people and create a better quality of life. The fact that this country has the most efficient agricultural industry in the world is another good example. Mechanical engineers have worked with farmers and biologists to produce fertilizers, machinery and harvesting systems. This team effort has now produced crops uniformly waist high or less so that they are better suited to mechanical harvesting. Similar advances with other crops have released people from hard and boring jobs for more creative work, whilst machines harvest crops more efficiently with less waste. Providing more food for the rapidly increasing population is yet another role for the mechanical engineer.According to the passage, when would most weight be imposed on hip-joints?

A.When one is walkin
