Section ? Reading Comprehension
(Time—30 minutes)
Directions:
Read the following 4 passages. Answer the questions on each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D]. Mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.
Passage A
The reason you're there as a children's nurse is because children are not just mini adults: their bodies (and minds) work in different ways. The onset of symptoms can be sudden and extreme.
Because children are still growing, the impact of the illness or injury on their development has to be taken into account. And because they are young, they may be more scared or confused by what is happening to them. That's why they need pediatric nurses who understand their particular needs.
Children have parents and brothers and sisters who are all involved in different ways. Children's nurses work closely with patient's families as part of the caring process. One of the most striking features of pediatric nursing is how often you share your nursing skills with others: the child's parents or whoever would normally look after them at home. Your job is to give the child's carers the confidence and ability to carry on with their caring role, knowing when to stand back and when to take-over if necessary. It requires a special set of attitudes and open mindedness to people's different ways of relating to their children.
Pediatric nursing can sometimes involve managing distress. A rich mix of emotions often surrounds child illness such as panic anxiety, anger, powerlessness, and guilt. You'll play a key part in helping families come through their crisis.(226ws)
61. Pediatric nurses________ .
[A]are not just mini adults
[B]work in different ways

[C]beginning
[D]raising

[A] The child's brothers.

[C] The grandmother.
[D] The grandfather who always takes care of the child at home.
64. What is the pediatric nurse’s role?
[A] To require a special set of attitudes and open mindedness to people's different ways of relating to the children.
[B] To give the child's carers the confidence and ability to carry on with their caring role
[C] To know when to stand back and when to take-over if necessary.
[D] To look after the children at home normally.
65. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
[A] Children's nurses work closely with patient's families as part of the caring process.
[B] The parents or carers often feel powerless, guilty, anxious, etc. when the child is ill.
[C] Pediatric nurses play a key part in looking after the child at home.
[D] Pediatric nurses are just children's nurses.
Passage B
Confusion is the inability to think with your usual speed or clarity. When confused, you have difficulty focusing your attention and may feel disoriented(不知所措的). Confusion interferes
with your ability to make decisions.
Confusion may come on suddenly or gradually over time, depending on the cause. Some confused people may behave aggressively.
Many times, confusion is temporary. Other times it is permanent and not curable. Confusion is more common in the elderly, and often occurs during hospitalization.
A good way to test to see if a person is confused is to ask the person his or her name, age, and the date. If they are unsure or answer incorrectly, they are confused.
A confused person should not be left alone. To ensure a confused person's safety, physical restraints may be required in some situations. Try to keep the surroundings calm, quiet, and peaceful.
When visiting a person whose confusion is from a chronic disease, you should always introduce yourself each time you see them, no matter how well he or she once knew you. Placing a
9
calendar and clock near the person can help keep him or her oriented. When taking care of someone who is confused, frequently remind the person of his or her location. Talk to him or her about current events and plans for the day.
For sudden confusion due to low blood sugar (for example, from diabetes medication), the person should drink a sweet drink or eat a sweet snack. If the confusion lasts longer than 10 minutes, call the doctor.(255ws)

[C] To ensure a confused person's safety, physical restraints should always be required.
[D] We had better keep the surroundings of a confused person calm, quiet, and peaceful if we can.
68. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the cause of confusion?
[A] High blood sugar may cause sudden confusion.
[B] A chronic disease may cause confusion.
[C] Confusion may make you feel disoriented.

[D]the definition and home care of confusion
Passage C
Why do we cry? Crying makes sense if smoke gets in your eyes or if you’re cutting onions.
The tears protect your vision. But what good is emotional crying?
Crying often seems to make people feel better when they are sad or upset. A scientist in St.
10
Paul, Minnesota, is investigating the reason for this. Dr. William Frey studied the behavior of a group of people when they cried; 85 percent of the women and 73 percent of the men said they felt better after crying.
Frey believes that emotional weeping helps to reduce suffering by ridding the body of harmful chemicals. Such chemicals, he believes, are produced during stress. The chemicals can raise blood pressure, harm digestion, and increase the heartbeat.
To test his theory, Frey has been collecting sad tears, drop by drop. He pays men and women to watch sad movies and catch their own tears in a test tube. He has found that about 60 percent of the viewers will cry if the theater is dark and they aren’t crowded close together. During the movies, Frey also records signs of stress, such as fast heartbeat and high blood pressure, to see if crying reduces these. (199ws)
71. Feeling better after crying seems related to __________.
[A]cutting onions
[B]sad movies
[C]the body’s chemistry
[D]difference between men and women
72.According to Frey, crying can protect the body by __________.
[A]easing stress
[B]reducing blood pressure
[C]getting rid of chemicals
[D]all of the above
73. If Frey’s theory is correct, tears from sadness and tears from cutting onions will show _____.
[A]similarities
[B]stress
[C]differences
[D]harmful chemicals
74. Details in the passage suggest that Frey’s theory is __________.
[A]true
[B]false
[C]not proven
[D]unreasonable
75. Which of the following is NOT true?
[A]Chemicals produced during weeping cause high blood pressure.
[B]Chemicals produced during weeping harm digestion.
[C]Chemicals produced during weeping increase heart beat.
[D]Chemicals produced during weeping harm eyes.
Passage D
11
Fainting may occur while you are urinating, having a bowel movement (especially if straining), coughing very hard, or when you have been standing in one place too long. Fainting can also be related to fear, severe pain, or emotional distress.
A sudden drop in blood pressure can cause you to faint. Your blood pressure may drop suddenly if you are bleeding or severely dehydrated. It can also happen if you stand up very suddenly from a lying position.
Certain medications may lead to fainting by causing a drop in your blood pressure or for another reason. Common drugs that contribute to fainting include those used for anxiety, high blood pressure, nasal congestion, and allergies.
Other reasons you may faint include hyperventilation, drug or alcohol use, and low blood
sugar.
Less common but more serious reasons for fainting include heart disease (such as abnormal heart rhythm or heart attack) and stroke. These conditions are more likely in persons over age 65 and less likely in those younger than 40.(168ws)

Section ? Translation
(Time—15 minutes)

81. Acupuncture is promoted as a treatment for pain--- and there is absolutely no question that it does in fact provide short-term benefit for many of the people who try it. By some estimates, between 50 and 70 percent of patients with chronic pain receive at least temporary relief when treated with acupuncture, and some experience long-term relief as well.
The ‘‘puncture’’ in acupuncture refers to insertion of tiny needles at certain very specific points on the surface of the body. The treatments vary widely, depending on the individual practitioner and the style of acupuncture. Most practitioners of Oriental-style(东方流派)
acupuncture perform at least a partial physical examination at the first visit. The also tend to take a very detailed medical history, including nutritional habits and environmental factors.(125ws)

A healthy heart is obtained from a donor who is brain dead but on life-support. The healthy heart is put into a special solution that preserves the organ.
The patient is put into a deep sleep with general anesthesia, and a cut is made through the breast bone. The patient's blood is circulated through a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the blood oxygen-rich. The patient's diseased heart is removed and the donor heart is stitched in place. The heart-lung machine is disconnected. Blood flows through the transplanted heart.

HIV is found in body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breastmilk. It is passed from one person to another - or transmitted - only in very specific ways. These are: through sexual intercourse between a man and a woman or between two men; through infected blood - for example through contaminated blood transfusions or unsterilised needles and syringes. ( In most places today blood transfusions are completely safe because the blood is tested for HIV before it is used to treat patients); and from an infected mother to her baby while it is still in the womb or during childbirth or during breastfeeding.
HIV does not spread through "casual" everyday contact between people.
It is not transmitted by coughing, or sneezing, or by touching or hugging someone who has the virus.

It is not spread in air, water or in food, or by sharing cups, bowls, cutlery, clothing, or toilet
seats.
And HIV is not transmitted by biting insects such as mosquitoes, because the quantity of blood
on their mouthparts is too minute.

针灸现在越来越多地被用来治疗头痛—— 毫无疑问,事实上针灸确实为许多尝试这一疗
法的人在短时内带来好处。据估计,约50%~ 70% 的慢性疼痛患者在接受针灸治疗后,至少
有暂时的缓解,而另一些人则能感受到长期的作用。
针灸过程中的“针刺’’ 指的是将多支极细的银针插入体
的某些特定穴位。针灸疗法差
异很大,各个针灸师的手法和风格不尽相同。大多数东方流派的针灸师会在首次就诊时至少
为病人作部分体格检查。他们还会做详细的病历记录,包括饮食习惯和其它环境因素。
