Rose left school when she was seventeen years old and went to a college for a year to learn to type. She passed her examinations quite well and then went to look for work. She was still living with her parents. A lot of people were looking for typists at that time, so it was not difficult to find interesting work. Rose went to several offices, and then chose one of them. It was near her parents' house. She thought, “I will walk there every morning. I won't go by bus.” She went to the office again and said to the manager, “I want to work here but what will you pay me?” “We will pay you $27 now,” the manager answered, “and $30 in three months.” Rose thought for a few seconds before she answered. Then she said, “All right, then I'll start in three months' time.”

For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.
The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio (比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union (EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.
Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (O. E. C. D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O. E. C. D. countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing. ” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.
Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U. S. , for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020. ” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O. C. E. D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O. E. C. D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.
21.What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?
a. The demand for nurses will decrease.
b. Many nurses will be too old to work.
c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.
d. Nurses are often looked down upon.
e. Aging populations will increase rapidly
A. a and b B. b and c
C. b and e D. c and d
答案与解析 C 根据第三段五、六两句“Mr. Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.” Mr. Lafortune 说大量的护士预计将在10年内退休。与此同时,人口老龄化的卫生保健需求预计将增长,加剧护士的短缺。故选择C项。
22.The underlined word “intensify” in Para. 3 means “________”.
A. strengthen B. neglect
C. reduce D. cause
答案与解析 A strengthen加强,巩固;neglect疏忽,忽视;reduce减少,降低;cause引起,使遭受。“intensifying”在句中是“增强,加强”,A项更贴近,故选择A项。
23.We know from this text that America and the EU countries ________.
A. refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nurses
B. have at least one nurse out of 100 people
C. don't like to train nurses of their own countries
D. have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations
答案与解析 B 根据第一段中叙述可知,护士到发达国家去有更高的薪水,更好的工作条件和更好的职业发展机会,因此A项不正确;根据第二段中叙述可知,在加勒比国家中每一千人有一名护士,而在美国和欧洲那些发达国家这个比例要高于加勒比国家10倍,也就是每一百人中有一个护士,因此B项正确;C项在文中没有提到;由文中大量护士离开加勒比国家到美国或欧洲国家去,可知加勒比国家的护理问题应比美国和欧洲国家更严重,因此D项不正确。故选择B项。
24.What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries.
B. The different attitudes towards nursing in different countries.
C. Nurses shortage will result in serious consequences.
D. The health care industry needs more nurses.
答案与解析 D 通读全文可知目前护士行业缺口大,医疗卫生行业需要更多的护士。故选择D项。
B
Every parent knows it's important to have good communication with their teens — actual conversations with plenty of back and forth. The problem, of course, is that most teenagers don't like to talk to their parents. Usually, we're at fault. We can't just let them talk. There are far too many important life lessons to impart (传授).
It might go something like this: Jacques and his father are riding in the car. Out of the blue Jacques starts talking. I've been thinking. I don't know, maybe I'm going to become an airplane pilot. Or maybe I'll work at Burger Barn and always live at home with you and mom. Or maybe ...”
“You know, Jacques, you're going to have to start thinking seriously about what you want to do. You're going to be out of high school in a couple of years.”
“What is his problem?” Jacques says to himself. “I was trying to tell him what I'm thinking about, but all he wants to do is to give me another lecture.”
Jacques and his father sit without speaking for the rest of the drive.
Our comments worries, warnings and lessons — they seem important. We want to guide our kids down the best possible path. And if we hear something from them that seems to beg for our important guidance, how can we not give it? But often the only thing that our advice accomplishes is to kill the conversation.
When they talk freely, it is like a tiny flame that we should try to keep alive, fanning it gently to keep it going. When they were little kids, we couldn't stop them talking, but not much skill is required to get a second grader to tell you about his day.
The solution seems so simple. All you have to do is shut up. Stick to innocuous comments like, “You think so?” or “Really?” or repeat a brief version of what you said.
25.What does the author intend to say in the passage?
A. Shut your mouth and listen to your teens.
B. Make a good plan for your child in time.
C. Learn how to teach your child to communicate.
D. Make proper comments on your child's behaviour.
答案与解析 A 第一段提到,孩子不乐意跟父母交谈;最后一段提到最好的方案是闭嘴,听孩子说。故选择A项。
26.The author takes Jacques and his father as an example ________.
A. to show parents are at fault when talking with kids
B. to imply Jacques's father isn't a good father.
C. to indicate communication is hard to go on
D. to show Jacques' father is absorbed in driving
答案与解析 A 根据第一段“Usually, we're at fault. We can't just let them talk.”和第二段中“It might go something like this:Jacques and his father are riding in the car. Out of the blue Jacques starts talking.”可知,在和子女交流的时候,父母有过错。A项正确。
27.If you let your child talk freely, ________.
A. your advice will stop your conversation
B. your child will show his soul to you
C. your worries will disappear forever
D. your child will become independent
答案与解析 B 从倒数第二段可知,当他们自己发表自己的意见时,就像个小火苗一样,你应该让它保持活力并且煽动着它继续燃烧。只有这样,他才能跟你进行精神上的交流。故选择B项。
28.What does the underlined word “innocuous” in the passage mean?
A. Harmless B. Impolite
C. Unbelievable D. Helpful
答案与解析 A 最后一段是在说,解决方案很简单,闭嘴,用一些这样的评论如,你这样认为吗,真的吗,这些评论是没有害的,故选择A项。
C
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions (解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
29.Some students like cheating mainly because________.
A. the material in the test is very difficult
B. they want to do better than the others
C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D. they have little time to study their lessons
答案与解析 C 根据第二段的第二句可知有的人认为作弊可以使困难的事情简单化。
30.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us________.
A. cheating isn't a good idea
B. why kids cheat in the test
C. some kids can't pass the test without cheating
D. some kids don't spend the time studying
答案与解析 B 由本段内容可知本段主要列举了一些孩子作弊的理由。
31.We can learn from the passage________.
A. cheaters are often thought highly of
B. people show no respect for those who cheat
C. parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
答案与解析 B 由第三段“Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them.”可以判断B项正确,D项的说法过于绝对,A项和C项文中均未提到。
32.In the passage those cheaters are advised to________.
A. spend more time on school than on sports
B. find good solutions instead of cheating
C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D. ask their classmates for good methods of study
答案与解析 B 作者在最后一段提到了这个问题,要寻找办法解决作弊的问题。
D
Everybody has to buy or sell things sometimes. Even students who are usually not very rich, have to learn something about making purchases intelligently. As a student, you may find, for example, that you need to buy a walkman or winter clothing. You may want to buy a television or a used car. Of course, you want to get good value for your money. If you are considering a major purchase, or any purchase you should remember several important things.
Study first, and then decide what to buy. You can learn a lot just by reading books and advertisements.
Remember that a high quality product will probably last longer and work better. Of course, for a superior product you are expected to pay more. An inferior product may not give you the same quality, but the price could be low. A poor quality product could be expensive and a valuable one could be on sale at a greatly reduced price.
Don't worry. Take your time. After you decide what product you want to buy, go to many different stores. If you cannot find the product you want, you try to order it directly from the factory or ask the store to order it for you.
Look for a good deal. If you wait, you may probably find that your product will go on sale and you may be able to save 10,20, or even 50 percent of the original price.
Finally, before you buy, make sure that that product is guaranteed. If you find the lowest possible price, you will generally be happy with your purchase and also keep more money in the bank.
33.Which of the following should you care more while shopping?
A. The price of the product.
B. The information of the product.
C. The size of the product.
D. The quality of the product.
答案与解析 D 可以在第三段直接找到答案。
34.According to the writer, waiting before shopping probably means________.
A. saving money B. wasting money
C. losing the product D. wasting time
答案与解析 A 由第五段可以推测答案。
35.If you want to have a good purchase, you should do all the following EXCEPT________.
A. getting enough information about the product
B. taking your friend's advice
C. making sure about the guarantee of the product
D. waiting until the proper time
答案与解析 B 通读全文可知只有B项文中没有提及。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. __36__ At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and got her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. __37__ It is my fault.”
When things don't turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. __38__
There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense — there is a reason for everything that happens.
The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. __39__ A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. __40__ When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.
A. That long airplane ride was more than she could take
B. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
C. Life and dead is an unsolved mystery.
D. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood
E. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him
F. Both died a natural death
G. They believe that they are responsible for what has happened.

Wealth and Health
Which_is_more_important,_wealth_or_health?_Different_people_have_different_opinions.
Some people prefer wealth, holding that money cannot bring everything, but without it, one can do nothing. In order to accumulate more money they can do anything. However, other people regard health as more important. Once health is lost, it is no use having a lot of money.
As far as I am concerned, I love wealth, but I value health more. Everybody wants to live a happy life. So they try their best to earn money which can ensure them to lead a comfortable life, but if happiness and comfort are achieved at the cost of their health, how can they be happy? Without health money becomes meaningless.
