(A)

Alan and Linda always dreamed of living “the good life”. Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfil their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years. ____25____(earn) enough money, they finally could move from their two-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused their energies on trying to have ____26____they considered important for a good life: membership in the local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. ____27____much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that ____28____(acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, ____29____cost the family much. One thing led to ____30____, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years ____31____Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lesson from their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what ____32____(remain) —a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends —do they realize that true abundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.

(B)

We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden expresses the speaker’s regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, ____33____(treat) his father. It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up ____34____he begins to understand his father’s unselfish love.

In remembering the small things his father did ____35____him and his family, such as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes, the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped ____36____ notice in the past.

As he recalls how his father warmed the house, the speaker’s coldness toward his father starts to melt away. In its place is love and gratitude. It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing, or always warm and affectionate, but ____37____well be cold and stern in appearance. In fact, mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice.

During our stressful teen years, we may find that our parents, especially our fathers, have difficulty____38____(show) their love for us verbally —sometimes when we need it most. This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember ____39____(be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only ____40____(express) in ways different from what we may have expected.

We need more men in our hospital, not as doctors, but as nurses. Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men ____41____ excellent carers and are ____42____ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of their children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews.

Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are ____43____ stronger than women. Male nurses can help ____44____ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable ____45____. Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients ____46____ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different ____47____ from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only ____48____ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster.

Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive ____49____ between male and female staff, and it will ____50____ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

If you study medicine at university, chances are you’ll become a doctor. For music students, it’s less ____51____what job you’ll end up with… but it could be really fulfilling. The idea that options are ____52____and jobs are few for music graduates needs to ____53____.

It’s wrongly assumed that when it comes to jobs, music students are ____54____their field of study. ____55____, music graduates go on to do a wide range of jobs in a variety of different industries.

Alumni surveys from the University of Nottingham show that music graduates are employed across a varied range of ____56____. As you might expect, a large proportion (50%) work in the creative industry, but the roles performed by graduates ____57____ greatly.

Music grads work in publishing, editing, media production, broadcasting, and marketing.

Some music grads work with professional ensembles(歌舞团), but not all are performing as ____58____: ---- Music grads work in publishing, editing, media production, broadcasting, and marketing.

Dr. Robert Adlington, an associate professor of music at the University of Nottingham, ____59____these successful and varied outcomes to the highly desirable ____60____developed by music students during their studies.

In 2011, the Confederate of British Industry outlined the seven skills that ____61____employability: self-management, team work, business and customer awareness, problem solving, communication, numeracy, and IT skills. Adlington says that music students develop all seven of these. By this measure, music graduates are among the most ____62____of all.

While some of these skills are obtained by students of all subjects —for example, team work, good communication, self-management — Adlington points out that music students have a(n) ____63____. The experience of organising, hosting, and performing in events that are open to the public provides them with skills beyond those on other degree programmes. Few degrees require knowledge of customer awareness, or interaction with the public, for example.

Music graduates’ success is a(n) ____64____of how changes in the music industry allow artists to produce and publicise themselves.
