Passage One
The health care industry needs more nurses. All areas of the world face a nursing shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. (16) Many of their nurses leave. They move to more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. A World Bank report earlier this year called attention to the problem. (17) For example, developing nations currently have about one nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio of nurses to population is about ten times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union. John Brown is with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris. He says the nursing shortage also affects industrialized countries. (18) He says there are concerns in most developed countries that the number of nurses is too small to respond to the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concerns are sort of growing. He also says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next ten years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses. In May, the World Health Organization approved a global rule on the 四级-3
international recruitment of he$th workers. (19) The rule advises against actively recruiting health workers from developing countries that face severe shortages. The WHO also says that the world also faces)shortage of nursing trainers. As a result, nursing schools are forced to turn away qualified students.

That was for students from “in state. ” Students from other states as well as international students paid an average of more than $18,000. This is the bad news—international students often have to pay the highest prices. And these averages were only for tuition and fees. Food, housing, books and supplies can add 10 to 12 thousand dollars a year. Many students save money by starting their education at a two-year public college, also known as a community college. The average tuition this year was about $ 2,500. (25) Costs for graduate study in the United States also differ from school to school, and even from program to program. Here too, public universities charge more for out- of-state tuition. American students often have to take out loans to help pay for their education. President Obama recently signed into law a bill that changes the student loan system.

口文章大意
对于谁消费更高的问题，无论是富翁还是富婆,都会说对方花钱更多。事实或许是仁者见仁，智者见 智。文章通过对女性富豪的调查，表明女性并不是花钱更多的，她们有自己的花钱习惯,至于在高端花销 方面的情况就不得而知了。
昌试题详解
- H）。详解 数词one后缺少一个名词。根据首段第一句中a gathering of wealthy male investors
可知，说话者应该是其中一位与会人士，故participant为答案。
- L）。—详解 名词 measure 前缺少一个形容词。联系后文 Both will say the other in the bigger
spender.可知，在富人堆里，无论是男性还是女性，都会说对方花钱更多。由此可知，目前并没有 可靠的方法来评断富人堆里谁花钱更多，故reliable与之相符。原文重在强调没有有效的判定方 法，而不是没有有价值的判定方法,故排除valuable %
- G）。 详解名词短语their money前缺少一个动词。由原文可知，这里表述的是被调查者的财产来
源。a quarter got p from their husPands表明，被调查者的财产部分来自于她们的丈夫，即应为 “继承”得来，故inherted与之相符。
- M）。 详解be动词&后缺少一个‘词。根据原文可知，文中阐释的这项调查的结果与其他对富有
女性的调查结果基本相符。rughly有“大体上,大致上”之意，故与题意相符。原文中提到的调 查结果都是很清楚的，所以将不同调查结果进行比较时，其结论应是一目了然的，而不是不确定 的,故排除potentially%此外,要注意in line with为固定搭配，意为”与一致”。
- N）。 详解 定冠词the后缺少一个名词。联系前文中a quarter got it from their husbands and the
other quarter earned n themselves可知，这部分主要在阐述被调查者财产的来源，故sources为 本题答案。conditions用在这里不及sources明确、具体，故排除。
- C）。■详解名词短语ai the women后缺少一个动词。由原文可知，谈到支出问题时,几乎所有女性
都说自己的支出习惯是“量入为出）。descrine as为固定搭配，意为“把……描述成”，故descrined 与之相符。displayed虽可与as连用，但不是固定搭配，而且意为“显示为……”，故排除。
- E）。 详解名词weaUh前缺少一个形容词。联系前后文可知，这项调查的调查对象是女性富人，
因此都是拥有大量财富的?。她们之所以说自己的支出习惯是“量入为出”，可能是因为她们并 不认为自己的极大财富就是成功的全部意义所在。由此，空格处应填入表示“财富量大的”词语， 故extreme与之相符。valuable（有价值的”与原文不符，且通常不用来修饰weaUh 一词，故 排除。
- B）% 详解 介词as后缺少一个形容词。联系前文可知，按照调查中一位女士的说法，女性往往没
有男性花钱多，也不会四处宣扬自己。由此可知，这位女士花钱是谨慎的，她的支出应该是保守 型的，故conservative为本题答案。
- F）% 详解 代词that前缺少一个动词。由原文可知，空格所在句是对前文内容的进一步说明。由
于买大件的主意都是由女性来定，所以这就暗示了她们要经常花钱买大件，故空格处缺少表示 “暗示”的词,implies与之相符。做决定对于实际行动应该是一种“暗示”，而不是“预示”,故排 除 predicts %
- K）。 详解形容词other后缺少一个名词。联系前文可知，买大件的主意都是由女性来定;对于真
正的大件，夫妇两人又可能会一起做决定。而后文的high-end spending表明,还有高端花销的 问题，所以空格处要表达的是其他“购买行为”，故purchases为本题答案。
