But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical workers. From the angle of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital. A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. However, each must be equally trained. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night. The nursing staff in a hospital is usually quite large and various. Nursing services, after all, must be provided on a 24-hour basis. There are professional(专业的) nurses, practical nurses, nurses aids, and orderlies(勤杂工). The general term nurse refers to a person trained to offer bedside care to sick persons. 来源： Under the supervision(管理) of the head nurse, the nursing staff in a hospital ward must attend to patients needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight hours in length. The nurses on the ward rotate(轮换) their shifts. Some take turns working night duty;other work odd shifts. All of them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurses station. A nurse must always be on her guard. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situations, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital. 16 The physicians in a hospital are less important than the nursing staff. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 17 The nurses in a hospital usually spend more time with the patients than the physicians. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 18 A nurse is not qualified if she does not have patience and show concern for her patients. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 19 Nurses often earn as much money as physicians do because they tend to work long days and at odd hours. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 20 Nursing services in a hospital are generally available around the clock. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 21 The nurses station is the only place where nurses in a hospital ward can be found. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 22 Nurses who work in the intensive care unit in a hospital are better trained than other nurses.

Many of them are connected with the “dailies”, though not run by the same editor and his members. The Sunday papers are larger than the daily papers and usually contain more articles concerned with comment and general information rather than news. The national daily and Sunday papers have the largest circulation in the world. Of the Sunday papers, the Observer and the Sunday Times are the best known. 2 It is a regrettable fact that the number of magazines of a literary or political nature has dropped since the war. This has probably been caused by the ever-wider use of radio and television. The most successful magazines are those published for women. Their covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so!They offer their readers articles on fashion, needlework, and many other matters of female interest. They also provide advice to those in love, and adventures with handsome heroes. Some womens magazines also include serious articles of more general interest. 3 The visitor who looks at the magazines displayed in a large bookstore which may be found in an important railway station will notice that there is a wide variety of technical books and magazines. There are magazines for the motorist, the farmer, the gardener, the nurse, and many others. 4 There are many local and regional newspapers. It is common in Britain for a news agent to deliver the morning papers to his customers for a small extra payment;this service is usually performed by boys and girls who want to earn some pocket-money. 23 Paragraph 124 Paragraph 225 Paragraph 326 Paragraph 4试网A A Wide Variety of Books And MagazinesB The Outline of British NewspapersC The Cause for DroppingD The Most Successful MagazinesE Deliver ServiceF The Sunday Papers 27 The most successful magazinescovers . 28 are the best known of the Sunday papers. 29 It is not special in Britain to see . 30 Womens magazines include .

Americans, too, believe that the country gives no end of chances to those who want to open their own businesses. Today, many Americans are still trying hard to become small business people, although only one out of two remains in operation after the first two years. Many people start their small businesses for the wrong reasons. They want to get away from the paper work of their present jobs, or to exchange the responsibility of their present jobs for free life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business. Thomas is the owner of the news magazine Mother Earth, which is now quite successful. He says that he had to work sixty hours without stopping when he was trying to bring out the first issue. Thomas had waited for years after he came up with the idea for Mother Earth. During that time, he collected as much information as he could about his business. He borrowed books from the library, talked to successful people in the field, and began planning carefully the amount of money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he would need. When he finally opened with a capital of $1，500，he set up his office in the kitchen and his printing press in the garage. Owing to his devotion(投入)to business, his talent, and his skill in management, Mother Earth now has a circulation(发行量) of 300，000. Not all small businesses are doing as fine as Mother Earth as 50% of the 450, 000 that start in America every year fail. Still, 95% of businesses in the US can be called “small”. Altogether these businesses amount to 40% of Americas gross national product(国民生产总值). 31 According to the passage, which of the following is true of the small businesses in the U. S. ? A All of them close down in the first two years. B Most of them fail within the first two years. C They all make big profits. 来源：中网D Only half of them continue to operate after the first two years. 32 According to paragraph 2, many people start small businesses in order to A do heavy work or earn more money. B do less paper work or take less responsibility. C do more paper work or take less responsibility. D do light work or live quiet lives. 33 What preparations did Thomas make before he started his business? A He stayed at home. B He borrowed money from a bank. C He made investigations and drew up a plan. D He wrote a book. 34 Thomassuccess can be attributed toA his talent, his skill in management, and his devotion to his work. B his good luck. C his good relations with a business manager. D his good treatment of his workers. 35 How many businesses in the U. S. can be called “small”?A 5%. B 40%. C 50%. D 95%. 第二篇 U.S. Scientists Confirm Water on Mars NASA scientists said that Mars was covered once by vast lakes, flowing rivers and a variety of other wet environments that had the potential to support life.Laboratory tests aboard NASAs Phoenix Mars Lander have identified water in a soil sample. The landers robotic arm delivered the sample Wednesday to an instrument that identifies vapors produced by the heating of samples.We have water, said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA. This is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted.The robotic arm is a critical part of the Phoenix Mars mission. It is needed to trench into the icy layers of northern polar Mars and deliver samples to instruments that will analyze what Mars is made of, what its water is like, and whether it is or has ever been a possible habitat for life.来源：中国职称英语考试网The soil sample came from a trench approximately 2 inches deep. When the robotic arm first reached that depth, it hit a hard layer of frozen soil. Two attempts to deliver samples of icy soil on days when fresh material was exposed were foiled when the samples became stuck inside the scoop. Most of the material in Wednesdays sample had been exposed to the air for two days, letting some of the water in the sample vaporize away and making the soil easier to handle.Mars is giving us some surprises, said Phoenix principal investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona. Were excited because surprises are where discoveries come from. One surprise is how the soil is behaving. The ice-rich layers stick to the scoop when poised in the sun above the deck, different from what we expected, from all the Mars simulation testing weve done so far.Since landing on May 25, Phoenix has been studying soil with a chemistry lab, TEGA, a microscope, a conductivity probe and cameras. The science team is trying to determine whether the water ice ever thaws enough to be available for biology and if carbon-containing chemicals and other raw materials for life are present.The mission is examining the sky as well as the ground. A Canadian instrument is using a laser beam to study dust and clouds overhead.Its a 30-watt light bulb giving us a laser show on Mars, said Victoria Hipkin of the Canadian Space Agency.A full-circle, color panorama of Phoenixs surroundings also has been completed by the spacecraft.The details and patterns we see in the ground show an ice-dominated terrain as far as the eye can see, said Mark Lemmon of Texas A & M University, lead scientist for Phoenixs Surface Stereo Imager camera. They help us plan measurements were making within reach of the robotic arm and interpret those measurements on a wider scale.36. What was discovered by NASAs Phoenix Mars Lander on Mars? A Vast lakes.B Flowing rivers.C Water in a soil sample.D Living things 来源：中国职称英语考37. Why did the first two attempts to deliver samples fail? A The sample vaporized away.B Fresh material was exposed to the air. C The samples got stuck inside the scoop.D The robotic arm hit a hard rock. 38. Which one of the following statements is NOT meant by the writer?A Scientists have been trying to break the ice-rich layers of soil on Mars.B Scientists have been surprised by how the soil on Mars behaves.C Scientists have been trying to find out if there is life supporting material on Mars. D Scientists have been trying to know if water ice will melt. 39. Where are the scientists involved in the research from?A They are from America.B They are from Canada.C They are from both America and Canada.D They are from neither America nor Canada. 40. Which of the following do you think is the best description of Phoenixs Surface Stereo Imager camera, according to your understanding of the passage? A It imitates human vision and is able to capture three-dimensional images.B It imitates human voice and is able to record slight sounds while taking photos.C It takes clear photos that show every detail of the object.D It is this particular type of camera that can take wide angle pictures.第三篇 Black Holes Trigger Stars to Self-DestructScientists have long understood that super massive black holes weighing millions or billions of suns can tear apart stars that come too close. The black holes gravity pulls harder on the nearest part of the star, an imbalance that pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours, once it gets close enough.Scientists say this uneven pulling is not the only hazard facing the star. The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy the star from within. Matthieu Brassart and Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon, France1, carried out computer simulations of the final moments of such an unfortunate stars life, as it veered towards a super massive black hole.When the star gets close enough, the uneven forces flatten it into a pancake shape. Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside the star enough to trigger intense nuclear reactions that would tear it apart. But other studies had suggested that the picture would be complicated by shock waves generated during the flattening process and that no nuclear explosion should occur.The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail, and found that even when their effects are included, the conditions favor a nuclear explosion. There will be an explosion of the star it will be completely destroyed, Brassart says. Although the explosion obliterates the star, it saves some of the stars matter from being devoured by the black hole. The explosion is powerful enough to hurl m
