E

All areas of the world face a nurses shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.

The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.

Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.

Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U.S., for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O.E.C.D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.

What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?

a. The demand for nurses will decrease.

b. Many nurses will be too old to work.

c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.

d. Nurses are often looked down upon.

e. Aging populations will increase rapidly

A. a and b B. b and c C. b and e D. c and d

The underlined word “intensify” in para. 3 means “________”.

A. strengthen B. neglect C. reduce D. cause

We know from this text that America and the EU countries ______.

A. refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nurses

B. have at least one nurse out of 100 people

C. don’t like to train nurses of their own countries

D. have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations

What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries.

B. The different attitudes towards nursing in different countries.

C. Nurses shortage will result in serious consequences.

D. The health care industry needs more nurses.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳答案。

The competition for Hollywood's highest honors has begun with the announcement Tuesday in Los Angeles of this year's nominations（提名）for the 82nd Academy Awards.

As expected, James Cameron's Avatar received a Best Picture nomination. And Cameron's former wife, Kathryn Bigelow, was nominated for The Hurt Locker, a war film set in Iraq. Bigelow would be the first female director to win Best Picture.

Hollywood author Tom O'Neil says the race between the former couple adds more drama to the competition. "We have a classic David-versus-Goliath battle here for Best Picture at the Oscars. The most successful movie ever made, Avatar, up against a movie that lost money, The Hurt Locker - directed by the former Mrs. Goliath, Kathryn Bigelow. This race has all kinds of dimensions（程度） to it," he said.

For the first time since 1943, 10 films are competing for the Best Picture award.

Entertainment reporter Sam Rubin says that means greater interest in the Academy Awards ceremony March 7th. "The Oscars are a television show," he explained. "So the idea is to increase ratings and interest in the television show."

District Nine represents another departure -- a tale of science fiction -- like the box office hit Avatar.

"No science-fiction movie has ever won Best Picture. Only two have been nominated in the past: Star Wars and E.T. Two are nominated for Best Picture now," O'Neil said.

Best Picture nominee Precious is a drama about the struggles of an inner-city teen, and its director, Lee Daniels, is also nominated in the Best Director category. He is first African-American director to get a Best Picture nomination.

The other Best Picture nominees are An Education, The Blind Side, Inglourious Basterds, A Serious Man, and Up in the Air.

Over the past 20 years, the film with the most nominations has won best picture 15 times --making Avatar and The Hurt Locker the favorites.

1. According to the passage, the director of the film __________might be the first female director to win Best Picture.

A. Avatar B. The Hurt Locker C. Star Wars D. The Blind Side

2.How many films have been nominated for the Best Picture Award of the 82nd Oscars?

A. 2 B. 6 C. 8 D.10

3. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. The nominations for the 2009 Oscar Best Picture Films

B. The competition for Hollywood's highest honors has begun

C. The race between a couple D. Best Picture Award for the Oscars

4. Which of the following is TRUE about Avatar?

A. It is the most successful movie ever made.

B. It’s the only science-fiction movie that has ever won Best Picture.

C. It was directed by James Cameron D. It’s a war film.
