Section ⅢReading Comprehension (30%)
(40 minutes)
Directions:
There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage A
In modern society, where people are always competing against each other and trying to achieve so much in their lives, almost everybody is said to be suffering from some amount of stress. But stress is not always bad. Some amount of stress in life is actually necessary as it motivates you to perform better. However, you should never allow stress to grow beyond a point where it breaks you down. Therefore, the key to leading a happy life is learning to manage stress effectively.
Stress is the root cause of many illnesses. Every year millions of people lose their life because of heart disease, stroke and various forms of cancers caused primarily by overstress. Besides, stress tends to cause constipation or diarrhea which may eventually contribute to such serious conditions as ulcers（溃疡）. Chronic stress is also known to weaken the immune system, which makes you prone to frequent colds and upper respiratory infections.
Your attitude towards a stressful situation plays an important role in successful stress management. Usually, people who have a negative attitude will report more stress than people with a positive attitude. If you are under the pressure of stress and find it tough to manage, you can spend more time on music, painting, dancing, sports or anything that interests you. Most importantly, do not keep silent. Find someone who supports you. Somebody in your family or your friends will be willing to help you out of stress. If you are still unable to come out of stress, turn to the counselor who can help you to take control of your life and to live positively.

[A] Heart attack.
[B] Stroke.
[C] Ulcer.
[D] Lung infection.

[B] Stress should be wiped out completely.
[C] We may lead a happy life if we manage stress effectively.
[D] Because of stress people are inclined to take a pessimistic view of life.
Passage B
Arthritis refers to the inflammation inside the joints of the body. There are many types of arthritis and in general the causes are still unknown. However, there are some risk factors for arthritis. These may include age, gender, lifestyle, and being overweight. Arthritis is the leading cause of physical disability, and one of the most frequently reported chronic conditions in the US. Those in mid-to-late life are particularly vulnerable to this disabling condition. According to the figure from the National Arthritis Data Workgroup, more than 21% of American adults (46 million) have arthritis and over 60% of arthritis patients are wome n. “The higher prevalence of arthritis in the US may be a consequence of obesity and physical inactivity, particularly in women.” noted Dr. Badley, the spokesman of the group.
There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. With age, the cartilage of the joints wears down; and that causes the most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis. The treatment may vary depending on the type of arthritis the patient has. Treatment for arthritis generally involves pain management, exercise, and relaxation. The goals of arthritis treatment are to avoid pain and further destruction of the joint. One way is to avoid pain-causing activities. When the joint becomes painful, pain-killers and anti-inflammatory medication should be taken to relieve the pain and swelling. A physical therapist may advise routine exercise to help the patient maintain joint mobility. Besides, surgery to cure the joint damage may also be an option.
66. Who has the high risk of getting arthritis?
[A] M en in their 50’s.
[B] Women in their 20’s.
[C] W omen in their 50’s.
[D] M en in their 20’s.
67. According to the data given, how many American arthritis patients are male?
[A] About 18.5 million.
[B] About 15.5 million.
[C] About 10 million.
[D] About 27.5 million.
68. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the osteoarthritis?
[A] Overweight of the cartilage.
[B] The aging of the cartilage.
[C] The abrasion of the cartilage.
[D] The inactivity of the cartilage.
69. Which of the following is NOT the way of avoiding pain?
[A] Doing less physical exercises that cause pain.
[B] Taking pain-killers.
[C] Taking anti-inflammatory medicine.
[D] Avoiding the swelling of the joint.
70. What does physical therapist do?

[B] Operate on patient.
[C] Do physical examination for patient.

Passage C
Thanks to medical and drug research, there are thousands of drugs that us lead healthier and happier lives. Antibiotics and vaccines help to cure many diseases that were formerly fatal. Medicines can lower blood pressure, treat diabetes, and reduce pain.
However, a drug may be helpful or harmf ul. When people talk about the “drug problem,”they usually mean abusing legal drugs or using illegal drugs. Today, drug abuse has already become a worldwide disaster, and it occurs in almost every country. Therefore, how to stop drug abuse has already become a problem of the world’s common concern.
The first step to stop drug abuse is to know why people start using drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects won’t last long because drugs can’t solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it’s always around trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about
themselves, and then they may use more drugs.
If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problems behind them and reduce their reliance on drugs. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn’t have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you’re all helping to stop drug abuse. After all, what is a friend for?
71. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
[A] Modern medical and drug research contribute to the growing problem of drug abuse.
[B] Using drugs is one of the ways to treat some fatal diseases.
[C] The problem of drug abuse has already attracted widespread attention.
[D] Friend is the last person a drug abuser can turn to.
72. Which of the following can we infer from the passage as the cause of using drugs?
[A] Heavy drug users usually have big monetary problems behind.
[B] It is difficult for heavy drug users to return to their families.
[C] Drug abusers can travel around the world mentally through using drugs.
[D] Many drug abusers have psychological problems and they have nobody to turn to.
73. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop your friends from abusing drugs?
[A] To help solve their psychological problems.
[B] To make them aware of its harmfulness.
[C] To send them to the hospital.
[D] To stay with them all the time.
74. Which of the following is correct, according to the studies of heavy drug users?
[A] They care for each other.
[B] They need care and affection.
[C] They are ready to stop using drugs.
[D] They regard you as close friend.
75. What is the passage mainly about?
[A] The treatment of drug abuse.
[B] A hot topic in drug abusing.
[C] Ways to help people stop using drugs.
[D] Pharmaceutical technology and drug abusing.
Passage D
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) plays an important role in basic patient care activities in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care settings, including home health care.
Actually, the CNA nurses assist in the basic human needs of the healthcare profession. They may help to bathe patients, feed them, change diapers or beds, empty bedpans, and help patients to
bathroom or toileting facilities. They are also trained to take vitals, which are measurements of pulse, blood pressure, and respiration, and are responsible for charting vitals several times during each shift. The nursing assistant also needs to be fully aware of any changes in vitals, and any significant changes in a patient’s condition, and report them to the nursing staff.
In facilities where patients are hospitalized for long period of time, it is usually the nursing assistant who will help patients turn over every couple of hours so that the patients wo n’t develop bedsores. A nursing assistant may be the first responder when a patient calls for help, and the job can require some pretty heavy lifting when patients who are ill or recovering need to get up to walk around, change their clothing, or get to the bathroom. It requires some physical strength and knowledge of safe lifting tactics（方法）to work as a nursing assistant.
Some nursing assistants may additionally support patients by helping them with prescribed physical or respiratory therapy exercises. In long term care facilities, nursing assistants can be trained to help exercise patients who are paralyzed or in coma. These health care workers may also work with patients in home care settings, and may be the primary caretakers for patients recovering from conditions or who have long term disabling conditions.
The many jobs a nursing assistant performs free up nurses to provide care that requires greater training, like administering IV medications and starting IVs, giving appropriate medications on time, charting and noting significant changes in a patient’s health, and alerting doctors to potential problems. In many nursing centers, the higher patient-to-nurse ratio in recent years is a matter that can be somewhat resolved by more skilled nursing assistants. As the population ages and more people enter nursing homes, the certified nursing assistants are going to be more in demand than ever.
76. According to the passage, when the patient calls for help, who probably might be the first to come and have a look?
[A] A doctor.
[B] A nurse.
[C] A nursing assistant.
[D] A registered nurse.
77. According to the passage, all of the following are the nurses’ job EXCEPT___________.
[A] to administer appropriate medications
[B] to help patients turn over every couple of hours
[C] to chart and note significant changes in a patient’s health
[D] to alert doctors to potential problems
78. According to the passage, which of the following nursing item does NOT require greater training?
[A] Starting and administering IV medications.
[B] Planning and giving appropriate medications.
[C] Charting vital signs many times during each shift.
[D] Monitoring and reporting significant changes and potential problems.
79. What does the phrase “the higher patient-to-nurse ratio” (Para. 4) probably mean?
[A] There are more patients than nurses in the unit.
[B] Fewer patients are cared for by the individual nurses in the unit.
[C] Individual nurses care for more patients in the unit.
[D] Individual patients are cared for by more than one nurse in the unit.
80. Which of the following can we infer from the passage as the role of CNA?
[A] They are responsible for charting vitals and fully aware of any changes in patients’ vital signs.
[B] They help to reduce nurses’ workload by providing some cares that require not much training.
[C] They support patients by administering medications to them.
[D] They report any significant changes in a patient’s condition to the doctors and nurses.

Now look at Question 1.
1. W: I heard you caught a cold. How are you feeling today?
M: I can’t complain. At least I’m out of bed.
2. M: Today’s a bad day for me. I fell off a step and twisted my ankles.
W: Don't worry. Usually ankle injuries heal quickly if you stop regular activities for a while.
3. W: Look here, darling. The paper says people tend to feel unwell if they sleep less than six
hours a day.
M: That may be tru e for you, but it certainly isn’t true for me.
4. M: Mrs. Brown, I have read your case record. You are hospitalized yesterday, am I correct?
W: Yes. Yesterday I had a high fever and the temperature was 39.6℃. I have shortness of breath and my cough was serious too.
5. W: Should we transfer the patient to surgery for operation?
M: Yes, and if it is too late, we shall lose the opportunity for operation. You talk with his family about the condition while I contact the surgery department.
6. M: I’m afraid he will be in a state of shock. It’s necessary to take his pulse, respiratory rate
and blood pressure regularly.
W: All right, I’ll take them hourly.
M: No, you’d better take them every half an hour, and even any time when it is necessary.
7. M: My mouth is so dry.
W: You can’t drink anything right now, but I can help you gargle. In a little while we will get you up.
M: Isn’t it too soon to get out of bed?
W: No, it is important to get going right away so you won’t get constipation or lung problems.
8. M: When can I go back home?
W: If everything is all right, you can be discharged the day after tomorrow.
M: That’s marvelous, but when can I go back to my shop?
W: Next week, you need at least a week to have a good rest.
9. W: Tomorrow the doctor will have the abdominal exploration for you.
M: It’s a big surgery, isn’t it?
W: Don’t worry about it. According to your age and general condition, it is little likelihood of risk.
10. W: Have you taken any medicine?
M: I have never kept medicine at home.
W: Is there any medicine that you are allergic to?
M: I don’t remember. I seldom come to hospital.

When I first started working in the hospi tal, I started out as a nursing aide because I didn’t have license. My job is to assist a nurse in tasks that require little training. I worked the night shift, so I could earn more money because I had a girl to support. I worked for 18 months until one day I decided to make something of myself for the sake of my child. I applied to nursing school. Then I worked all holidays except Thanksgiving and Christmas when I spent with my kids. The hospital policy could not make students work the holidays unless it was volunteered. Those were the only two days that I had off in the entire time I went to school.
If I was not busy at work, I studied. I went to class 5 days a week. I worked Friday nights and Sunday days. I wanted to give up many a time because I thought I was like a slave. It was my innocent daughter who helped me through the hard times.
Graduation finally came. I left the test room not knowing whether I passed or not. For the following days, I still worked as a student 7 days a week. I waited on pin and needles for 6 weeks to find out what I made and if I passed. I finally got my results. I made 645 out of 700. I was second highest in our class.
Then I went for an interview with the Dean of Nurses, San Antonio Hospital. I got hired as a licensed nurse there. Now I have a steady full time job. I am entitled to enjoy legal holidays and at least one day off a week.

Asthma is a disease of the lungs that is characterized by tightening of the air pathways. Common symptoms of asthma are wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, chest pain, tightness or pressure. Many of these conditions are reversible with medication but not 100% reversible in all patients. Some common features of asthma are inflammation, airway obstruction and sensitivity. Some risk factors for asthma are a family history of asthma, regular lung infections, presence of allergies, exposure to tobacco smoke, low birth weight, and being male.
The current rise in asthma cases among children is alarming. Asthma may occur at any age but is very common in children. Approximately 10% of children have asthma and that rate may rise in the future. It is because children are being exposed to more triggers which can bring on asthma

Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1. Text Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering. These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 . If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork.

But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
