Nursing,
as
a
typically
female
profession,
must
deal
constantly
with
the
false
impression
that nurses are
there to wait on the position. As
11 /
15
nurses, we are licensed
to provide nursing care
only.
We
do
not
have
any
legal
or
moral
obligation
to
any
physician.
We
provide
health
teaching,
__41__
physical
as
well
as
emotional
problems,
coordinate
patient-related
services
and
make
all
of
our
nursing
decisions
based
upon what is best or suitable for the
patient. If,
in any circumstance, we
feel that the physician’s
order
is
__42__
or
unsafe,
we
have
a
legal
responsibility
to
__43__that
order
or
refuse
to
carry
it
out.
Nursing
is
not
a
nine-to-five
job
with every weekend off.
All nurses are aware of
that before
they enter the __44__. The emotional
and physical stress, however, which
__45__ due
to
hard
working
hours
is
a
prime
reason
for
a
lot
of
the
career
__46__.
It
is
sometimes
required
that
we
work
overtime
and
that
we
change
shifts
four
or
five
times
a
month.
That
disturbs our personal
lives, disrupts our sleeping
and
eating
habits,
and
isolates
us
from
everything
except
__47__ friends
and activities.
The
quality
of
nursing
care
is
being
affected
12
/ 15
dramatically by these
situations. Most hospitals
are
now
staffed
by
new
graduates
as
experienced
nurses
finally
give
up
trying
to
change
the
system.
Consumers
of
medically-related
services
have
evidently
not
been
affected
enough
yet
to
demand
__48__
in
our
medical
system.
But
if
__49__
continue
as
predicted,
they
will
find
that
most
critical
hospital
care
will
be
provided
by
new,
inexperienced
and
sometimes
inadequately-
trained nurses.

Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For
each
blank
in
the
following
passage there are four words or phrases
marked A,
B, C and D. Fill in each
blank with the word or
phrase that best
fits the context.
The
famous
American
inventor
Thomas
Alva
Edison
once
claimed
that
genius
was
one
percent
inspiration
and
ninety-nine
percent
perspiration
< br>(
汗
水
).
Now,
it
seems,
there
is
13 / 15
scientific evidence to
__50__ his claim. The idea
that
geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and
Picasso possessed certain inborn
talents is a false
belief,
according
to
a
study
by
a
British
psychologist and his
colleagues.
After
examining
outstanding
performance
in
the
arts
and
sports,
these
researchers
concluded
that
__51__
is
determined
by
opportunity,
encouragement,
training,
motivation,
self-confidence,
and
—
most
important
of
all
—
__52__.
Even
people
who
were not thought to be
53__ with any
special
talent
could,
after
having
received
training,
reach
levels
__54__
considered
attainable
(
可获
得的
)
only
by
gifted
individuals.
‘
Talent
is
a
false belief, and it is
time that people got rid of
it,
”
they said.
This
theory
—
a
dramatic
__55__
with
traditional
beliefs
—
has
been
__56__
by
academics
worldwide.
In
fact,
studies
of
accomplished
artists
and
mathematicians,
and
top tennis players and
swimmers, have reported
14 / 15
few early signs of __57__
in these people before
any
parental
encouragement.
No
case
has
been
found
of
anyone
reaching
the
highest
levels
of
achievement
without
__58__
himself
or
herself
to
thousands of
hours
of
serious
training.
Even
those
who
are
believed
to
be
exceptionally
talented
—
whether
in
music,
mathematics,
chess, or
sports
—
have needed lengthy
periods
of
instruction
and
practice
to
achieve
their
highest
level
of
success.
‘
The
persistent
false
belief
that
some
people
reach
high
levels
of
performance without spending numerous
hours
practising
__59__
much
to
the
fact
that
their
practice is usually outside the casual
observer
’
s
view,
’
stated one
scientist.
The
importance
of
practice
has
been
noticed in athletics.
For
instance,
differences
in
the
composition
of
certain
muscles
were
once
thought
to
be
__60__
predictors
of
athletic
performance.
However,
the
differences
in
the
proportion
of
certain
muscle
fibers
(
组织
< br>)
that
are __61__ for
success in long-distance running
15 /
15
are
largely
the
result
of
extended
practice
in
running.
‘
What
makes
a
genius
then?
’
one
may
ask.
__62__, there is no clear answer. What
is known,
however,
is
that
‘
nurture
’
is
at
least
as
important
as
‘
nature.
’
__63__,
a
supportive
environment
will
do
far
more
for
a
child
’
s
prospects of success than any inborn
gifts. This
is a message that most of
us will find __64__

even if we

is still in our own
hands.

Section B
17 / 15
Directions:
Read
the
following
four
passages.
Each passage is followed
by
several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them
there are
four choices marked A, B, and
C. Choose the one
that fits best
according to the information given in
the passage you have just
read.
(A)
You
are
walking
along
a
lane
and
never
know
what
you
will
find.
It
might
be
a
shop
selling
oil
paintings,
or
a
place
where
you
can
buy Dutch cheese. One
thing is for sure, you will
end up by a
canal.
Welcome
to
Amsterdam,
the
capital
of
the
Netherlands.
The
year
2013
will
be
a
good
time
to
explore
Amsterdam
as
the
city
has
a
lot
to
celebrate:
the
famous
canal
ring
will
turn
400
years
old.
Amsterdam
will
also
celebrate
the
160th
birthday
of
Dutch
painter
of
the
Van
Gogh museum, home to the
biggest collection of
the artist’s
colorful works.
18 / 15
The
famous
canal
ring
is
a
trademark
of
the
city.
With
more
than
100
kilometers
of
canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam
is called
the ‘Venice of the north’.
But unlike the Italian
town,
where
boats
were
originally
used
for
transport, the canals in
Amsterdam were mainly
used
for
defense
in
the
17th
century.
Today
ferries on canals
offer a different way to explore
the
city.
But
to
truly
experience
Amsterdam,
you
can’t
miss
the
city’s
historic
museums
and
monuments, among which Van Gogh museum
is
the most famous one. It holds 200
paintings, 700
letters
and
500 drawings by the artist. Another
famous
museum
is
Anne
Frank’s
house.
Anne
Frank
became
famous
around
the
world
because
of
a
diary
she
left
explaining
her
and
her
family’s
experience
as
a
Jewish
girl
during
World War II, hiding
out in a house hoping that
she would
not be captured by German Nazis.
Amsterdam
is
small
enough
to
walk
or
cycle
almost anywhere, but it is rarely dull. Best
19 / 15
of
all
it
combines
its
glittering
past
with
a
rebellious edginess.
65. Which of the following
is TRUE of the canals
in Amsterdam?
A. They had to be rebuilt after years
of use.
B. They protected the city
in ancient times.
C.
They
were
built
to
provide
transport
for
the
city.
D. They are the main theme
of Van Gogh’s
paintings.
66.
In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a
city _____.
A. that can be
explored by foot
B. that is
completely built on water
C. that has two
historic museums in all
D. that is
famous for its modernization
67. What
can we infer from the passage?
A. People get lost easily in Amsterdam.
B.
Van
Gogh
spent
his
life
time
in
Amsterdam.
C.
Many
Jews
in
Amsterdam
were
caught
by Nazis.
D.
Taking a ferry ride is the most popular
20 / 15
activity
in Amsterdam.

Where
would

passage
most
probably
appear?
