　　More men are finding their calling as nurses.

　　A new study from the United States Census Bureau reports the number of male nurses has doubled since the 1970s.Back then，about 2.7 percent of registered nurses were men.The new study，which tracked data through 2011，finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United States—about 330,000 men in total.Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts，according to the report，which included recruiting men into the field.

　　Men，in fact，had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because nursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.

　　“The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities make this

　　field

　　attractive，offering stability even

　　during recessions (经济衰退)，” wrote the report’s author，Liana Christin Landivar of the US Census Bureau.“And because of high demand，nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields.”

　　Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists (麻醉师)，which is the highest paid nursing occupation，and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses，the lowest paid types of nursing.Nurse

　　anesthetists are required to get graduate education，and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recovering from anesthesia.Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses provide patients with care and may work under the supervision (监督) of a registered nurse.Registered nurses assess patients’ health problems and needs，develop and carry out nursing care plans，maintain medical records，and administer care.

　　For all types of nursing，men earned，on average，$60,700 per year，while women earned $51,100 per year.“Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations，men outearn women，” wrote Landivar.

　　1．Which of the following is true about nurses in the US in the 1970s?

　　A．The number of male nurses doubled.

　　B．About 2.7% of registered nurses were men.

　　C．There were about 330,000 male nurses.

　　D．About 9.6% of employed nurses were men.

　　2．The underlined word “recruiting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．

　　A．helping people to get used to

　　B．ordering people to learn

　　C．asking people to join in

　　D．inspiring people to devote

　　3．Why are more men willing to become nurses in the US?

　　A．The economy is in bad condition.

　　B．More people are out of employment.

　　C．It is promising to go to nursing schools.

　　D．It’s easier to get employed and well paid.

　　4．According to the text，male nurses are more likely to________.

　　A．become licensed practical nurses

　　B．devote themselves to work

　　C．graduate from nursing schools

　　D．get the highest paid nursing occupation

　　5．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

　　A．Men are more likely to be better nurses.

　　B．As nurses，men earn more than women.

　　C．Male nurses work harder than female ones.

　　D．Male and female nurses do different jobs.

　　(2014·山东省济南市名校高三第四次诊断性测试)

　　With the average temperature for January standing at －50 ，it is no wonder the Russian village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the “Pole of Cold”，the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is －71.2 .This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere (北半球)．

　　Ironically，Oymyakon actually means “non­freezing water” due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.

　　Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horsemeat.A single shop provides the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer­breeders，hunters and ice­fisherman.

　　There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets—and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular，the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases，the town shuts down in about five hours，and the pipes freeze and crack.

　　Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to people’s faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.

　　Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed (融解) sufficiently in order to dig it，so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.

　　Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.

　　6．Oymyakon gets its name because________.

　　A．it is extremely cold there

　　B．its water is non­freezing

　　C．there is a hot spring nearby

　　D．it is known as the “Pole of Cold”

　　7．From the passage we can infer that people in Oymyakon________.

　　A．prefer meat to any other kind of food

　　B．seldom have fresh vegetables and fruits

　　C．can buy anything in the shop

　　D．might row a boat to catch fish

　　8．Why do the locals have their cars running all day?

　　A．They are afraid they can’t get the car started.

　　B．They want to keep warm in the car.

　　C．They have abundant oil resources.

　　D．They have little awareness of saving.

　　9．Mobile phones would not work in Oymyakon because________.

　　A．the batteries are of poor quality

　　B．there was no coverage for phone reception

　　C．batteries can’t be charged in such conditions

　　D．the extreme coldness makes the batteries lose power

　　10．Which of the following is the first step when burying a dead body?

　　A．The coffin must be put in place.

　　B．A bonfire has to be lit first.

　　C．Hot coals have to be pushed to the side.

　　D．A hole couple of inches deep is dug.

　　Ⅲ.书面表达

　　Dear Editor，

　　I’m a senior high school student in Nanchang，named Li Hua.Now many students have iPads and think it’s a fashion to use them.Using an iPad，we can listen to music，download a lot of learning materials and read them on the screen.Apparently，it is helpful to our study，especially to our English listening.

　　Some students，however，bring their iPads to classrooms and listen to music with earphones，which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed.What’s worse，some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.

　　In my opinion，as a student，we should make good use of iPads.The classroom is a place for students to study，and therefore，concentration is badly needed for us to learn our lessons.Furthermore，the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Hua
