their house．Yet they rarely cook their own meals；instead，on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket andchoose two portions of meat loaf and a containerof ready-to-serve potatoes．“My job，”sa ys Karen，“is to pour the salad from the bag．”A half-century after the first TVdinner was born，the food industry is approaching its long—sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins ofunpaid labor in the final，and arguably most profitable，step by which a cow gets turnedinto meat loaf．Increasingly，tables in America‟skitchens are used not for cutting orpeeling but for putting takeout food onto plates．For thosewho even bother withplates．According to Harry Balzar，an influential food—industry researcher，American dinners that came from atakeout counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade．“We thought the micro- wave would be acooking device，”says Harry Balzer，“but we find it reheating takeout pizza．”Across the United States，entire business models arebeing transformed．Supermarket takeout counters，formerly aplace where unsold chickens were coated with sauce，increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias．with sushi bars and stir—fry stations．One psychologist thinks the,trend toward healthier eatingis responsible：Americans have finally gotten the message that it‟s bad to eat fried chicken，so they‟re doing it at home where no one can see them．Of course，there are people you wouldn‟t expect to cook at home，like Steve Traxler，an un·married Chicago theaterproducer，whose refrigerator contains little more than orange juice，wine ard leftovers．Well，somebody must beusing those cookbooks，right?“People don‟thave time to cook；I think they‟re reading them in bed，”says Rozanne Gold，author of a cookbook．It‟snot entirely a question of time．The takeout fashion is fueled，in part，by the popularity of foods like sushi，which even adventuresomeAmerican cooks are unlikely to try to make at home．And takeout fills another need aswell，for the atmosphere of thehome—cooked dinner．46．From the text we can learn that theMullins __________．[A]are experienced in cooking[B]are expert at food shopping[C]often go dining out at arestaurant[D]often eat ready—made food athome47．The food industry is approaching its finalgoal of __________．[A]freeing people of cooking athome[B]turning COWS into meat loaffor people[C]relieving

unhealthy food[B]follow the trend of eatingout[C]enjoy eating together athome[D]have time to improve theircookingText 2I switched on the TV and there they wereagain—the next crop of Miss World／Miss Universe candidates．The samepracticed smiles，the same waving hands，the samehosts with their unreal crossbreed accents—the same．Yes．the show goes on．No time to enjoy the glory of the last set of titles．It‟s time toprepare for me next．Our Assembly Line is in place．It takes a whole year toprepare for the Miss World ／Miss Universe contest．And the young hopefulsgive it their disciplined best almost as if they were preparing themselves for an ⅡT entrancetest or the Civil Services exam·So what，s wrong with that?Ifone set of kids can further their genetically gifted intellect，why can‟t

"33.The incorrect answers given by many Australians about dinosaurs are seen as ____.A an error in the survey resultB a mistake in survey designC a light, unimportant matterD a sign of poor science education34.In a survey conducted by Dr Cathy Foley and her colleagues, _______.A 1500 people were involvedB all questions were about animalsC most of the answers were wrongD six questions were asked about water35.The percentage of the population unable to answer basic questions about science is estimated to be ________.A 3 to 4 percentB about 70 percentC about 30 percentD about 50 percent36.By " a grey situation" (paragraph 9) Dr Foley probably means a situation that is ___.A unnoticedB unclearC colorlessD depressing37.It may be concluded from the passage that _____.A science teachers deserve more respectB more biology classes should be taught at schoolC most Australians are poorly educatedD Australia should enhance its science educationPassage TwoThe old saying, necessity is the mother of invention, is still probably the best guide as it is the driving force for two of the most common ways fro coming up with ideas for new inventions.The first way comes about when people realize that they need something, or decide that their life would be better if only there was a device that could achieve a result faster and/or easier than the present manual method. Faced with this obstacle, creative people proceed to invent and build the desired device.（器具、仪器）The second way people get ideas for new inventions is by observing other people struggle with a task and deciding there has to be a better way.This can be an accidental event where person 'A' sees person 'B' struggling and geta and idea. Or, it can be deliberate as when Scott Cook, the creator of Intuit Corporation, had money to start a computer software business but knew neither how to write a program nor what program to write.So, he began observing people and looking for ideas. He finally got the idea for a checkbook(支票簿）balancing program when he saw his wife struggling with monthly work or reconciling (核对）their checkbook with the bank statement.Concluding that others had the same problem, he posted notices at nearby Stanford University seeking a computer science student to write a progrm. Heis search led him to Tom Proulx who took Cook's idea and wrote the progrm for the original Quicken software. The two then launched Intuit.38.According to the passage, an invention is usually made ____.A by a manual methodB out of a needC accidentallyD from an old saying39.The word " obstacle" (line3, paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _____.A task（工作，任务）B barrier （障碍、栅栏）C problemD decision40.An idea may occur to you for an invention when you _____.A observe two persons struggling with each otherB fortunately ge involved in an accidental eventC see people have difficulty doing somethingD have no idea about how to start a business41.Which of the following statements is true?A.Scott Cook and Tom Proulx founded Intuit CorporationB.Proulx came to work for Intuit Corporation after graduation.C.Cook asked his wife to help with his company;s account.D.The software Quicken was programmed by Cook and Proulx.42.Scott Cook decided to on a checkbook balancing program because _____.A he needed to find a product for his company.B he got a contract to produce it for the bankC he had hired a computer student from StanfordD he believed his wife's problem was universalPassage ThreeDong Yuanqing, a 22-year-old animation(动漫）major at Wuhan University of Technology, took the Best Short Film Award for cellphone movies at the 2009 Beijing Student Film Festival last month.The latest cellphone allow people to carry around a cinema in their pocket. And amateur(业余）filmmakers like Dong are beginning to create entertainment that fits this new demand."Cellphone films have to tell the story in a quick, tight way," say Dong, " for most people only watch them in their spare time and I have to catch their attention in the shortest span of time."Dong's five-minute film, Extending a Hand,tells the story of a group of thieves who pass a stolen purse from one to another. He says the title is a pun(双关语). It (extending a hand) could either refer to the bad behavior of a thief or the loving act of someone trying to help.The key thing about a cellphone film is that it must have an unexpected plot or ending, and hence you can't allow the stroy to go flat.In fact, Dong did his first film as part of his homework, but he plans to make more for fun, and maybe for some money. "It's more of a commercial way of catching people's attention. It's not like an are film," Dong says of his first cellphone film. His next, he hopes, will be a romantic kungfu story.43.The 2009 Best Short Film Award was won by _____.A an animation major from Wuhan UniversityB a cellphone producer from BeijingC a student who makes cellphone moviesD a student majoring in movie technology44.Stories for cellphone films should be told in a quick and tight way in order to _____.A.catch people's attention immediatelyB.help filmmakers create entertainmentC.fit young people's immediate demandD.make them into short animations45.According to paragraph 4, Extending a Hand is ______.A about the loving act of a studentB about the bad behavior of a thiefC the title of a cellphone filmD a story about a group of helpers46.What is the most important feature for a cellphone film?A.A quick and tight ending B An unexpected endingC. An unending plot D A flat plot47.Dong Y uanqing's next cellphone movie will be _____.A a part of his homeworkB a romantic Kungfu storyC a kind of commercial filmD something similar to an art filmPassage FourBeijing is experiencing its longest period of hot weather in a decade（十年）, and it is expected to continue until Friday. This Tuesday, the city has experienced 10 days with the maximum temperature exceeding 35 centigrade-- the most for the month of July in a decade."The hot and wet weather will continue until Friday, Rain will cool things down on the weekend," said Sun Jisong, chief weather forecaster at the Beijing Meteorological(气象的）StationAccording to meteorological authorities, hot weather will continue to affect northern parts of China, including Beijing, Tianjin, Xinjiang Urgur Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, as well as the provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, over the next three days.Beijing and Tianjin are recording record high power consumption levels because people have switched on air-conditioners to cool down.Tourism on the grasslands in Inner Mongolia has also suffered from the heatwave. The grasslands usually offer respite from heat for people liming in cities. But this month the grass lands have lost this function under temperatures as high as 40 centigrade.Ma Yongsheng, vice director the local tourist bureau, said that the number of tourists to the region's grassland in July has reduced by half compared with the same period last year, with only about 20 million visitors arriving.He added that in addition to the drought-triggered(干旱触发的）degradation(退化）of the grasslands, the decrease in the number of tourists is also caused by the Shanghai World Expo.48.Beijing's longest period of hot weather in a decade will probably lats _____.A the whole month of JulyB from Tuesday to FridayC for thirteen daysD for ten days49.Which of the following the true according to paragraphs 2 and 3?A.Rain on the weekend will finally stop this heatwave.B.The hot weather will continue through the weekendC.Shanxi and Hebei are to included in the affected areaD.The hot and wet weather is partly caused by rain50.The word "respite" (line14) probably means _____.A an annoying spanB a temporary relief from discomfortC a temporary place for relaxingD an exciting experience51.The grasslands can not function as a summer resort for people this month because____.A there isn't enough power for air-conditionersB the consumption levels have already been highC tourism on the grasslands has been cooling downD the area has been struck by heat and drought52.It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that _____.A there were about 40 million visitors in the same period last yearB the grassland degradation decreases the number of tourists by halfC there were about 20 million visitors in the same period last yearD the Shanghai World Expo decreases the number of tourists by halfPart IV Translation from English to Chinese (10%)T1. (line 1-3, last paragraph, passage One)[we need to make] sure we have strong teachers, who everyone has to agree are probably one of the most fundamental groups of people in society that make us what we are.A.我们必须确保教师的优势，因为人们谁都不可以不承认教师可能是哪些使我们得以有今天的的最根本的社会群体之一。

全国公共英语三级试题及答案2011年全国公共英语三级试题及答案Section I Listening Comprehension(25 minutes) （略）Section Ⅱ Use of English(15 minutes)Directions:Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1.TextMost 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.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. 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.26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there — moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had mad e a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.” “To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed eit her. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.”（in the last paragraph） Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter i s at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will__________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientistsconsider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels （coal and oil） is creating a “greenhouse effect”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen （though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible） Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment ca used by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon58. The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by_________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect……[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels……[C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age. Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements （A to C ） given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62. Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63. Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing （40 minutes）You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.

Someone you had great confidence in，surely．But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to mm to for counsel are often not completely correct．My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice，including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who —as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are．In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University，for example，I found mat people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they’re addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy．In our experiments．subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in various pictures，some of which were in focus and some of which wereunclear．For each picture，subjects guessed twice：the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant．When the pictures were in focus，we found，subjects tended to discount the advice；apparently，they were confident in their ability to guess correctly．When the pictures were unclear，subjects leaned heavily on me advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion．Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received--consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall．They would have done better if they’d considered the advice equally，and to a moderate degree，on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice—related prejudice I've found people compels to overvalue advice that they pay for．In one study conducted，subjects answered different sets of questions about American history．Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were．In one version of the experiment，people could get advice for free，while in another version，they paid for it．When they paid for advice，people tended to have firm belief in it，I suspect，by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked．51．In the face of a mission—critical decision，people tend to __________．[A]trust their own efforts[B]rely on research findings[C]get affected by other’s opinion[D]seek help from the more knowledgeable52．Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often __________．[A]discount others’ advice[B]overlook others’ advice[C]disagree with others’ advice[D]over-rely on others’ advice53．The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions __________．[A]strengthen people’s initial opinion[B]strengthen people’s self-confidence[C]influence people’s response to advice[D]influence people’s guess of weight loss54．It can be inferred that people are likely to __________．[A]undervalue free advice[B]overvalue peer’s advice[C]misinterpret specialist’s advice[D]misjudge their instinctual belief55．The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal __________．[A]how to follow others’ advice[B]how to understand others’ advice[C]what causes people to seek advice[D]what affects people’s attitude to adviceText 3Top National Health Service(NHS)nurses will be able to earn $40，000 a year without leaving frontline patient care in a modification to salary structures． New“supernurse”grades will be created to enable the best staff to increase their salaries without having to move into management desk jobs Currently the most senior NHS nurses can earn a maximum$28，000 a year unless they are willing to withdraw from the frontline and become administrators．Hundreds of experienced and highly-qualified nurses are lost to patient care every year because of this oddity·While only a few thousand of Britain’s 332，000 NHS nurses will qualify for the$40，000 plus salary. Fast track promotion schemes and a simpler grading system will increase the pay of many more．The governmentannounced that a new simplified career structure would see just four grades replacing the existing six．Nurses will begin their careers as healthcare assistants before moving up to registered practitioner grade，followed by senior registered practitioner and ultimately consultant practitioner and a$40，000salary．“Nurses are rising to the challenge of modernization，”said a government official“These proposals will help them improve their professional role further and provide a better service to Patients·We do not think mat in order to be paid more，nurses should have to move into management·Nurses working at the sharpened of patient care should have a career structure which no longer penalizes them for wanting to stay there．”The Nursing Strategy will include proposals to allow more flexible training courses and Improve opportunities for qualified nurses who have left the profession to return in part-time roles·The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the reforms．The top salary level falls into line with figures it had presented to ministers．56 Hundreds of experienced nurses are lost to patient care every year because they__________·[A]dislike the nursing job[B]are dissatisfied with their pay[C]are replaced by“super nurses”[D]lack further training for the profession57．The new system will mostly benefit those who__________·[A]move into management[B]work on a part time basis[C]have retired from the nursing job[D]have reached the top of the system58．The new career structure is different from the existing one in its__________．[A]quality of nurses’ services[B]possibility of a job transfer[C]opportunities for promotion[D]simplicity of nurses’ grades59．The Nursing Strategy will be adopted in order to__________ ．[A]provide more consultation to practitioners[B]encourage experienced nurses to work part time[C]enable the most experienced nurses to be paid more[D]promote the most experienced nurses to management60．The Royal College of Nursing __________．[A]proposed similar top salary for nurses[B]raised the management issue to ministers[C]suggested a four-grade system for nurses[D]put forward the Nursing Strategy to ministersPart BDirections：Read the texts taken from five people's comments on an article on the issue of global poverty．For questions61 to 65，match the name of each person(61to 65)to one of the statements(A to G)given below Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1． Ankita Agarwal：Your article made me ashamed．I've always thought of myself as not the typical self-absorbed teenager，but I guess l was wrong．While I sit in my large，warm and cozy house．Wishing for the shoes and clothes I see in teen magazines，there are people in the world wishing for something as simple as clean water. Thank you for reminding me about people who would be more than happy with what I have．Janet Tejada：What about the relationship between population，consumption and resources? After all, poverty most simply defined，is not having enough resources．The steady growth of the global population, overconsumption of resources by developed nations such as the U．S．，and increasing levelsof C0nsumption among the growing middle class in many developing nations ensure that there is ever less of the planet’salready dwindling resources to go around．Tadaship Kawabe：Extreme poverty is so tragic．Sudden natural disasters like an earthquake mobilize a large number of people and money for a short period of time，while the slow but massive wave of poverty and death in Africa doesn't attract the world’s attention in the same way. When we try to help those affected by disasters and extreme poverty，however，we shouldn’t focus on the overwhelming number of the dead but simply try to do something good for others·Jane Thomas：The poor should be trained to organize，set priorities and develop skills and resources to put their own community plans into action．What your article proposes is the conventional top-down way for doing things：outsiders determine the priorities and solutions，then throw money at them.To actually help，we must first develop our own skills and understanding．We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of the problems are．We have to listen to poor people．Sanjay Kathe：Concerned and sensible people’s endeavors to reduce poverty in underdeveloped countries are deserving of high praise．It is sad，however，that only a small part of the funds raised for the poor actually l each them．The generous people who donate money to reduce poverty would be more successful if they spent time in the poor nations to check first—hand the use of their funds.Now match the name of each person (61 to65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements．61.
