　　课时规范训练(单独成册)

　　训练(三十六)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　At one time it was the dream for many little girls to become a nurse.Today，however，America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War Ⅰ.Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten (＝ say that you will hurt somebody if they don’t do what you want) the quality of care provided.The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.

　　What has become of these women in white？The answer lies in not one but several causes.One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options (职业选择)．In the past，women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices：nursing or teaching.Today，more women than ever are in the work force，but their options have greatly increased.There are women doctors，lawyers，firefighters and police officers.In fact，women today are found in nearly every field of work.Nursing has been left behind，as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status (地位)．A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”．Teachers may be also at fault.Many high school students are actually being steered (劝导) away from nursing，told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”．

　　Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention.In fact，the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years.Obviously a larger population requires more nurses.AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care.Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn­out hospital stay，that is to say，more nurses are needed to care for these patients.It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，属于科技研究类短文阅读。文章介绍的是第一次世界大战后，美国护士职业率显著降低，其中一个原因是同过去相比，妇女有更多的职业选择，并且护士这一行业在教育领域受到冷落。然而美国无论现在还是将来，为满足医疗领域对护士的大量需求，需要更多的就业者步入护士行列。

　　1．Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage?

　　A．Because the demand of nurses has been doubled.

　　B．Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.

　　C．Because women have been provided with many different jobs.

　　D．Because women no longer choose to be nurses.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。由第二段中的“One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options (职业选择)．”可知，其中一个可能是妇女有越来越多的职业选择。C项“因为妇女被提供许多不同的工作”，与文意符合。故选C。

　　2．The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for

　　.

　　A．not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US

　　B．introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students

　　C．not asking the government to raise the nurses’ payment

　　D．persuading the students not to be nurses

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。对于高中老师的责任，由第二段中的“Teachers may be also at fault.Many high school students are actually being steered (劝 导) away from nursing，told by teachers that they are ‘too bright to be a nurse’．”可知，很多高中生事实上被劝导远离护理，并被老师告知他们很有前途，不能仅仅从事护士这一行业。即，老师在思想上劝导学生不要去当护士。故选D。

　　3．The author wrote this passage in order to

　　.

　　A．describe the unequal treatment of women in the US

　　B．warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problem

　　C．tell us women’s free choice of jobs today

　　D．call on women not to be nurses

　　解析：选B。推理判断题。全文讲述的是美国护士行业面临着重大威胁，急需护士从业人员，且文章最后也提到未来美国对护士就业人员只会有增无减，所以可以推断出作者希望护士行业能引起广泛注意。故选B。

　　4．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A．High school students think themselves too bright to be nurses.

　　B．Women in the US have greater career choice than those in other countries.

　　D．Nursing used to be a popular job among women.

　　B

　　(part of Yanglan’s speech in Beijing’s bid for the 2008 Olympic games)

　　Mr.President，Ladies and Gentlemen.Good afternoon!

　　Before I introduce our cultural programs，I want to tell you one thing first about 2008.You’re going to have a great time in Beijing.

　　Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends (传奇) in history.For example，back to Song Dynasty，about the 11th century，people started to play a game called Cuju，which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.The game was very popular and women were also participating.Now，you will understand why our women football team is so good today.

　　gkxx.comWith a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road，our Torch Relay will break new ground，traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man­Greek，Roman，Egyptian，Byzantine，Mesopotamian，Persian，Arabian，Indian and Chinese.Carrying the message “Share the Peace，Share the Olympics，” the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world’s highest summit—Mount Qomolangma，which is known to many of you as Mr.Everest.In China，the flame will pass through Tibet，cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers，travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong，Macau，Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society.On its journey，the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.

　　I am afraid I can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.Before I end，let me share with you one story.Seven hundred years ago，amazed by his incredible editions of a far­away land of great beauty，people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.He answered：What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually，what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.

　　Ladies and gentlemen，I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes，spectators (观众) and the worldwide television audience alike.Come and join us.

　　Thank you，Mr.President.Thank you all.

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇演讲。文章介绍了2008年奥林匹克运动会的一些项目。在演讲中介绍了中国是一个运动历史悠久的国家，而且奥运会上奥运火炬也将走过很多地方和很多城市。同样火焰代表的精神——共享奥运，共享和平也将会传递到各个地方。最后，北京欢迎您！

　　5．In Yanglan’s speech，she mentioned a game called Cuju，she implied that

　　.

　　A．China is the original country of football

　　B．China is a country with a long history in sports

　　C．People in China used to play football well

　　www.gkxx.com初中学习网D．Women in China are good at football

　　解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends (传奇) in history.For example，back to Song Dynasty，about the 11th century，people started to play a game called Cuju，which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.”可知，杨澜先说了很多人都着迷于中国历史中的运动传奇，然后再举了一个叫做“蹴鞠”的运动，就是用来说明中国在运动方面有很悠久的历史。故选B。

　　6．Mr.Everest refers to

　　.

　　A．a person who is known to many people in the world

　　B．Himalayas

　　C．Mount Qomolangma

　　D．the Olympic Torch

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Carrying the message ‘Share the Peace，Share the Olympics，’ the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world’s highest summit—Mount Qomolangma，which is known to many of you as Mr.Everest.”可知，奥运火炬传递着“共享奥运，共享和平”的精神，而那种永恒的火焰将会达到一个新的高度，横穿大家一致认为最高峰的珠穆朗玛峰。由此可判断Mr.Everest表达的就是珠穆朗玛峰。故选C。

　　7．Which of the following is not the promise that China will keep to the world?

　　A．Whoever takes part in the Beijing Olympic Games will have a great time in Beijing.

　　B．The flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.

　　C．The Olympic Torch will reach the world’s highest summit—Mount Qomolangma.

　　D．Marco Polo’s stories will await athletes，spectators and the worldwide television audience.

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.He answered：What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually，what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.”可知，Marco Polo说不管他的故事对不对，但是唯一想表达的是：北京欢迎您！而此处的you指的是所有人，不仅仅只是运动员以及电视观众等，所以D不正确。故选D。

　　8．Marco Polo’s answer meant that

　　.

　　A．what he wrote was half better than what he saw

　　B．he was interested in half of what he had seen

　　C．he was not able to describe the beauty of the faraway land

　　D．there were so many true stories that he could only tell part of them

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He answered：What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually，what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.”可知，他的回答意指他连一半都没讲完，而且他讲的才只是一小部分，由此可推断它可以讲很多但是时间有限，只能讲其中的一部分。故选D。

　　学习网答案：

　　1．has。根据句子结构可知，所给词在句中作谓语动词，因此根据句中的时间状语“recently”可知，此处需用现在完成时，根据主语“lifelong learning”可知，have应用第三人称单数形式。故填has。

　　2．Traditionally。考查副词。根据句子结构可知，所填的词是用来修饰整个句子的，所以应用副词。又因为在句首故首字母要大写。故填Traditionally。

　　3．as。考查连词。根据句子语境可知，此处表示“如同你所了解的一样”，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，用来代替整句话的意思。故填as。

　　4．up。考查副词。根据语境可知，此处指“放弃”的意思。故填up。

　　5．an。考查冠词。此处是短语“play a role”，意为“起作用”，又因为本句中有“important”修饰。故填an。

　　6．informed。考查非谓语动词。根据题干结构可知，“inform”在句中作宾补，而且与宾语“us”之间是逻辑上的被动关系。“keep sb.informed about/of”意为“让某人了解……”。故填informed。

　　7．it。考查代词。此处指将网络教育与传统教育相对比。所填的词用来代替上句提到的“The Internet”。故填it。

　　8．lessons。考查名词复数。与其后的“teachers and textbooks”相照应可知，此处应用复数形式。故填lessons。

　　9．inconvenient。考查形容词。根据上下文语境可知，此处强调网络学习的便利，而传统方式与之相比就不那么便利了。故填inconvenient。

　　10．without。考查介词。此处指通过网络学习不出家门就能学到想学的东西。故填without。

　　Ⅲ.短文改错

　　增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。

　　删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。

　　修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
