5.A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60years of walking the wards-and she has no plans to retire.
Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953-when the National Health Service(NHS) was just five years old-and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.
The diabetes(糖尿。 specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts(輪班)each week.
Mrs Reid said:"Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job.Working for the NHS has been my life.I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.
Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals--including one in Scotland.
Her specialist field has been diabetes for the past 40years.She relrained after her 12-year-old daughter Michelle developed the disease.She currently works at Southend Hospital,Essex.
Over the last 60years she has treated tens of thousands of patients.
Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts.She said:"There're lots of things I would say to the government.If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources(資源),you can't do it without enough money.They shouldn't need the cuts that there are in the NHS.It's hard now because there's a shortage of staff."
Jackie has lived alone in Grays,Essex,since her husband did three years ago.
The couple have two daughters Michelle,50,and Karen,54.
Jackie added:"My youngest daughter worried about me-she doesn't think I should work as much as I do.I constantly say'don't worry about me,I'm fine',but she never believes me.I don't like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever."
56.In which year was the NHS set up?(with in 2words)
57.What does Jackie think of nursing?(with in 6words)
58.when did Jackie retrain in the field of diabetes?(with in 6words)
59.What does Jackie wish the government to do?(with in 7words)
60.Why does Jackie's daughter worry about her?(with in 8words)

分析 本文講述了一個在英國國家醫(yī)療保護服務工作的最老的護士Jackie Reid 的事跡.她把護士工作當成自己的生命,一生都在為此奉獻.文章最后寫到Jackie Reid希望國家能夠關心醫(yī)護,能夠撥款支持醫(yī)療建設.

解答 56.In 1948.細節(jié)題.這道題問NHS 成立的年份,我們要回到原文找到講述NHS 成立的句子,"In1953--when NHS was just five years old",就將題目變成了一道數(shù)學題,1953-5=1948,題目要求字數(shù)在兩個詞以內(nèi),所以答案直接是In 1948.
57.It's hard but she loves it.本題要求推測人物態(tài)度.Jackie 對nursing 的看法可以回到原文這個句子"Nursing is hard if you do it correctly,but I love my job."可以看出她認為雖然困難,但是她卻十分熱愛,但題目要求控制在六個詞以內(nèi),所以不能照搬原文,而要自己總結(jié),我們就可以簡單寫成It's hard but she loves it.
58.After her daughter developed diabetes.細節(jié)題.按照上邊的方法我們在原文找到相關內(nèi)容"She retrained after her 12 years old daughter developed this disease."this disease 指的就是diabetes所以就要寫明是什么病,答案就是After her daughter developed diabetes.
59.Not to make cuts in nursing.細節(jié)題.文中原句"Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts."所以她希望政府不要在nursing 上減少開支,所以答案就是Not  to make cuts in nursing.
60.Because she thinks her mother works too hard.細節(jié)題.文中原句"she doesn't  think I should work as much as I do"可以知道她女兒認為她工作量太大,所以答案是She thinks her mother works too hard/much.

點評 此類閱讀理解需在通讀全文的基礎上,把握文章寫作結(jié)構(gòu),理清文章線索,注意細節(jié).

10.Dear Daughter,
    We have not seen you for a while now,so I thought we might check in.Did you fall off the edge of the Earth?Your mother worries,you know,and I'm just curious.Well,I am more than curious.I feel abandoned.
Apparently,you've abandoned us for your career.
I can understand that,because you've always had a wonderful work ethic.
Look,obviously your long absence has confused us.As we go about our daily routines,your mother and I are distracted-both by your absence and our pride in your career.The other day,I entered my work password into the microwave,then stood there cursing(詛咒) it for not working.And I was so off my game(狀態(tài)差) that I actually used that juicy jam your mother insisted on buying in an effort to drive me from the house.
Listen,a lot has happened since you've been away.
We have two more children-a princess,23,a boy,now 12.
Yesterday I bought a very clean 2001 Camera car from an older woman.Your mother is not happy about this.She says it is the kind of muscle car driven by ex-convicts(有犯罪前科的人) when they examine your house at 2 am.
In response,I tell her it was the car of my dreams (when I was 18).
So that's where your long absence has left us.Your long absence is not so bad,though we miss your roaring laughter…the way your cheeks flush(暈紅) when you eat Thai food.How you always march too hard into the house,like a Scotsman stepping on snakes.
Each evening,your mother now waits by the window the way she did when you used to step off the bus in first grade,your hair full of rubber bands.
Bet that drove you crazy even then,her running out on the porch like you'd just returned from a mouth-long journey from the moon.
Look,parents are not easy people.
But should the urge ever hit you,feel free to stop by some time.Our house is your house.Our hearts are yours too.
And your mother is still waiting by the window.
Love,
Dad

10.In today's throw away society,dealing with the city's growing mountain of waste is an inereasing challenge for the city countil(市議會).
Recently.Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(處理)about 250,000 million tons of waster a year.Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner---largely through encouraging recycling---its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.
The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy,regulating how such mountains of waster are to be disposed of.The five councils (Edinburgh.East Lothian.West Lothian.Midlethian and Borders) face fine around $18million a year from 2013 if they don't inerease recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind,the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚燒廠)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But the plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.
After the plan was abandoned,a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city's wast by train to a landfill site near Dunbar,offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.
Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015,it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down-after 700 local objections reached them-because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.
That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013,only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling large are met,there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this,Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.

59.The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh isA.
A.recycling    B.restoring   C.burying   D.burning
60.The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant toB.
A.reduce the roast of burying waste
B.meets the EU requirements
C.speed up waste recycling
D.replace landfill sites
61.The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello becauseD.
A.a(chǎn) name from a private company
B.the council was not interested in it
C.it was not supports by EU
D.the local people was against it
62.What is the final dream an Edinburgh and Midlothian Country?C.
A.To open a new landfill nearby
B.To close the powder hall landfill in 2015
C.To set up a plan for burning waste
D.To persuade people to deduce their waste.
