　　三、阅读理解

　　Is there a nationwide shortage of nurses?It?s hard to say.However,some characteristic symptoms often indicate that there is indeed a shortage.

　　One symptom is the vacancy rate,or the percentage of budgeted positions that are unfilled.New England?s hospitals currently report that an average of 7 to 12 percent of their registered nurse positions are vacant,the highest level since the last shortage in the late 1980s.Vermont has a relatively low vacancy rate,at 7.8 percent.But its vacancies were at 1.2 percent just five years ago.

　　Another symptom is the increased use of stopgap measures to fill empty positions.For instance,many nurses report an upswing in how frequently they are asked to stay past their shifts.According to Murphy,working in the St.Elizabeth?s Hospital,“The shortage has definitely created a lot of opportunities of overtime for our nurses,whether they want them or not.” Similarly,a national survey of registered nurses shows that in an average week,nurses in the U.S.work 2.4 more hours than they are scheduled to.Much of this extra time is voluntary,as nurses earn overtime pay when they stay to fill in blanks in the schedule.

　　When they can?t fill open positions by more traditional means,health care providers hire temporary staff to tide them over.Traveling workers are the largest part of the temporary health care workforce,hired for thirteen-week reduction at health care facilities facing short-term lack of workers.Temporary workers,mainly nurses,cost hospitals $7.2 billion in 2000.

　　“Any successful solution to the shortage depends on convincing more people to become nurses,and that is not an easy goal to reach.To achieve it,” says Buerhaus,“society needs to place more value on nursing.Legislation(法规)can’t do that—it should come from people.” And if this continues,we might have to learn to care for ourselves in the hospital.

　　1.The temporary staff hired by a hospital 　. 

　　A.cost a large part of the hospital’s budget

　　B.meet the need for nurses in the hospital for a short time

　　C.should work on a weekly basis and on a scheduled timetable

　　D.ought to work passively for thirty continuous weeks

　　2.According to Buerhaus,what is a successful solution to the nurse shortage?

　　A.To convince people of the benefits of being a nurse.

　　B.To ask the government for help to work out specific legislation.

　　C.To publicize the past achievements of nurses.

　　D.To raise people?s awareness of being a nurse.

　　3.What?s the probable meaning of the underlined word “upswing” in Paragraph 3?

　　A.Symptom B.Decrease

　　C.Increase D.Figure

　　4.What?s the author?s attitude towards nurse shortage?

　　A.Worried B.Indifferent

　　C.Doubtful D.Optimistic

　　四、短文改错

　　An experience never fades from my memory.With an important exam drawing near,I felt very nervous that I even couldn’t eat or sleep,thus making me very sleep in class. See this,my teacher came to help.With her aid,I adjusted myself but felt confident again.In the meantime,a detailed plan made to go over my lessons.In the end,I managed to pass an exam.It was a good state of mind that helped me get in the exam.A good state of mind is which it takes to realize our goal.Whenever our emotion is out of control,just keep it in mind that only by possess a good state of mind can we attain success.

　　一、单句填空

　　1.the　句意:让人们惊奇的是,戴维通过在网上卖电脑发了财。考查冠词用法。the Internet“因特网;互联网”。

　　2.awareness　句意:对当地习俗的文化差异缺乏认识会造成一些问题。考查名词。awareness n.意识;认识。

　　3.struck　句意:我们大家仍都记得几年前侵袭四川的那次可怕的地震。考查动词。根据时间状语可知本句应用一般过去时。故填struck。

　　4.will be　句意:有些专家估计,由于天气非常好,2016年华北地区的小麦将获得大丰收。考查时态。根据in 2016可知,应该使用一般将来时。

　　5.indicating　句意:有大量证据表明,音乐活动与大脑的各个部分都有关。考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语a great deal of evidence与indicate之间是主动关系,应该用indicate的现在分词形式indicating。

　　6.freedom　句意:这位教育专家想强调的是没有了担心和焦虑肯定会有助于孩子的身心健康。空格处需要一个名词来充当that从句的主语。

　　7.could have faced　句意:我们本能够一起面对困难的,但你(那时)为什么不告诉我?考查情态动词。此处表达“过去本可以做某事但却没有做”,要用could have done结构。

　　8.generous　句意:布莱克女士被她的邻居们认为是一个很慷慨的女士,因为她经常帮助隔壁的那个可怜的老人。考查形容词。此处需要形容词来修饰后面的名词lady,generous慷慨的,大方的。

　　9.identity　句意:经过长时间艰苦的工作,警方终于查明了在路边发现的那个婴儿的身份。考查名词。由定冠词the和介词of可知空格处应该用名词形式,identity身份。

　　10.to have studied　句意:据说杰克已经出国留学了,但是我不知道他在哪所大学就读。考查非谓语动词。根据sb.is said to do sth.,且空格处动作发生在I don’t know之前,可知应该用不定式的完成式to have done结构。

　　二、语法填空

　　[语篇解读]　本文记叙了著名的精神病学家Alfred Alder的经历,尽管小时候算术不好,老师及家长对他无望,但他通过拼搏努力,最终获得成功。

　　1.an　考查冠词。experience在此处意为“经历”,是可数名词。

　　2.what　考查名词性从句。what在宾语从句中作宾语。

　　3.it　考查代词。it作形式主语,真正的主语是主语从句that Alfred can’t do arithmetic。

　　4.feeling　考查非谓语动词。现在分词短语作伴随状语。

　　5.in　考查介词。succeed 是不及物动词,在某个方面成功通常要用介词in。

　　6.confidence　考查词性转换。此处需要名词形式作宾语。

　　7.determined　考查固定搭配。 be determined to do sth.为固定短语,意为“下决心去做某事”。

　　8.extraordinarily　考查词性转换。所填词修饰形容词good,故用副词extraordinarily。

　　9.if　考查状语从句。句意:……如果一个人带着决心和目标努力从事一项工作,他的能力可能使他自己也使别人感到惊讶。故用if。

　　10.with　考查介词。with在此处表示“带有”。

　　三、阅读理解

　　[语篇解读]　全国的医疗机构真的缺少护士吗?这很难说,然而有两种现象表明护士的确紧缺。一种是护士职位的空缺率,另一种是为解决空缺率而不断增加的权宜之计,如让现有的护士加班,雇用临时护士等。作者对此问题非常担忧。

　　1.B　事实细节题。由第四段 “hired for thirteen-week reduction at health care facilities facing short-term lack of workers.”可知。

　　2.D　推理判断题。通读全篇根据最后一段可知要想解决目前护士紧缺的问题首先要号召大家重视这一行业,通过立法是不能解决问题的,作者认为应该从根本上提高人们对护士的认识。

　　3.C　猜测词义题。前一段提到护士更加紧缺,本段介绍解决这一问题的权宜之计,由此推知,她们加班的频率会增加。

　　4.A　作者态度推测题。在文章的最后一句作者用诙谐的口吻说,如果不解决这一问题的话我们住院时就要学会自己照顾自己了。由此可知作者对护士紧缺这一现象很担忧。

　　四、短文改错

　　1.第二句中的very改为so　考查固定句式。so...that...“如此……以至于……”,为固定句式,so修饰的中心词为形容词或副词。

　　2.第二句中的sleep改为sleepy　考查形容词。形容词作宾语补足语。

　　3.第三句中的See改为Seeing　考查非谓语动词。see与逻辑主语my teacher为主动关系,故用现在分词形式。

　　4.第四句中的but改为and　考查行文逻辑。adjusted myself与felt confident again为并列关系,所以用and。

　　5.第五句中的made前加was　考查时态语态。根据In the meantime可知前后时态一致,应该用一般过去时,同时plan与make为被动关系,所以加上was。

　　6.第六句中的an改为the　考查冠词。特指前面提到的考试用the。

　　7.第七句中的in改为through　考查固定短语。get through意思是“通过”。

　　8.第八句中的which改为what　考查表语从句。what引导表语从句,在从句中作takes的宾语。

　　9.第九句中的it去掉　考查代词。that引导的从句充当keep的宾语,所以it多余。

　　10.第九句中的possess改为possessing　考查非谓语动词。介词by后接动词,用动名词形式。
