2015年职称英语卫生类考试语法指导
2015年职称英语卫生类考试语法指导五个基本句型根据动词的特性，构成英语中五个基本句型：1) 主语+ 系动词+ 表语3) 主语+ 及物动词+ 宾语2) 主语+ 不及物动词(+ 其他成分)4) 主语+ 及物动词+ 双宾语5) 主语+ 及物动词+ 宾语+ 宾语补足语我们在学习5个基本句型时，主要关心每个句型中的出题点在哪里。
第一句型：主语+ 系动词+ 表语第一句型：主语+ 系动词+ 表语1) 系动词一般为be 动词。
注意：look, feel, sound, smell, taste, get, become, come, go, turn, grow, keep, seem, stand等词可以作"半系动词"用，按行为动词方式变化，起系动词的作用。
试验比较：—— He felt the pockets thoroughly but did not find a single penny.(他摸遍了口袋但没有找到一分钱。
—— feel为行为动词)—— You look pale. Do you feel unwell? (你脸色苍白，感到不舒服?—— look / feel为系动词)一般来说，动词后面跟的是个形容词或名词，该动词为系动词，如：The plan sounds perfect. / The flower smells nice. / The dish tastes delicious. / It is getting dark.实例："Don't worry. Let me take your pulse first." "Oh, it ______ normal." (脉搏正常)A. is feltB. is feelingC. feelsD. felt解题思路：normal为形容词，前面应为系动词;系动词没有被动语态，故A不对; look, feel, sound, taste, smell, seem等半系动词一般不用进行时，B也不对;D时态错了，故正确答案为C.2)there be是英语中非常重要的一个句型：there是引导词，不解释"那里"; 这是个倒装句, 主语在be动词的后面, be动词的单复数由后面的主语决定。

1 You are likely aware that several countries in West Africa are battling an Ebola outbreak.Ebola is a dangerous and often lethal viral infection.Scientists believe that humans contracted the virus by eating the meat of rare animals.It is now believed that bats are the primary carries of the virus.2 To date,there are only three major countries in West Africa experiencing a major outbreak: Sierra Leone,Liberia and Guinea.However,other countries such as Nigeria have reported confirmed cases of Ebola within their borders.3 Unless you recently visited one of the three affected West countries you risk of contracting the virus is virtually zero.Unlike other recent airborne virus outbreaks like SARS,the Ebola virus can only be spread through direct contact with an infectedperson.Specifically,Ebola is spread through contact with body fluids.Though,the virus is transmittable,only an infected person exhibiting symptoms is communicable.4 The signs and symptoms of Ebola are non-specific and patients typically exhibit them after a week of contracting thevirus.Symptoms may appear as early as two days or as late as three weeks after initial infection.Symptoms include disgust,weakness and stomach pain.More uncommon symptoms include chest pain,bleeding and sore throat.5 Ebola is devastating because of its ability to attack and replicate in every organ of the body.This causes an overstimulation of the body’s inflammatory response,causing the flu-like symptoms.The virus also causes bleeding and impairs the body's normal clotting mechanism (凝血机制),making bleeding even more severe.Loss of blood volume and decreased organ perfusion (器官灌注)ultimately lead to organ failure and death.6 The current outbreak is the deadliest viral outbreak in over 35 years.While diseases such as the malaria (疟疾) are far more communicable,Ebola is one of the world’s most fatal viral infections.Ebola's fatality rate exceeds that of SARS.23.paragraph 2_______24.paragraph 3_______25.paragraph 4_______26.paragraph 5_______A.Am I at risk ofcontracting the virus?B.is the currentoutbreak the deadliest?C.How do know ifhave contracted the virus?D.What areas arecurrently affected?E.What exactlydoes Ebola do to the body?F.What caused theEbola outbreak?27.The initialEbola outbreak was found in_______.28.The differencebetween SARS and Ebola viruses lies in_______.29.The symptoms ofthe patients after being infected may first appear_______.30.The Ebola virustransmits by contact with_______.A.infected bodyfluidsB.against theoutbreak severityC.the mode oftransmissionD.the initialdays of being infectedE.three countriesin West AfricaF.within a widerange of days2015职称英语考试卫生A补全短文真题2015年职称英语考试卫生A补全短文来自于卫生教材阅读理解第37篇Hypertension Drugs Found to Cut Risk of Stroke。

职称英语卫生类A级试题之阅读理解
职称英语卫生类A级试题之阅读理解2015年职称英语卫生类A级试题之阅读理解阅读理解根据下列材料，回答36-50题New US Plan for Disease PreventionUrging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a $15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes (糖尿病)。
The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases -- the leading causes of death in the United States -- and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and increased exercise."In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness,disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases," the Health and Human Services department said in a statement.The causes are often behavioral -- smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise."I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future." Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative."Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating diseases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices."Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $ 351 billion in 2003."These leading causes of death for men and women arelargely preventable,yet we as a nation are not taking the steps necessary for US to lead healthier,longer lives," he said.The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for changes as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being encouraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they card do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening,including Pap tests (巴氏试验) for cervical (子宫颈的`) cancer mammograms (****X线照片) for breast cancer,colonoscopies (结肠镜检查),and prostate (前列腺的) checks.If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.36、Which of the following is NOT true of chronic diseases in the US?A.They account for 70%of all deaths.B.They are responsible for most of the health care costs.C.They often result in unhealthy lifestyles.D.They are largely preventable.37、The author mentions all the following ways of disease prevention EXCEPT_______.A.better dietB.increased exerciseC.less smokingD.more frequent hand washing38、The passage indicates that spending more money on disease prevention will mean_______.A.greater responsibility of the governmentB.less need for input into treatmentC.higher costs of health careD.more lifestyle choices for people39、The purpose of the $15 million program is to_______.A.promote disease preventionB.build more highwaysC.help poor communitiesD.wipe out chronic diseases40、Early cancer screening can help reduce significantly_______.A.the death rates for all chronic diseasesB.the kinds of cancer attacking peopleC.the incidence rate for cancerD.the death rate for cancer。

+第十一篇 School Lunch 学校午餐Research has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat properly in the middle of the day. In Britain schools have to provide meals at lunchtime. Children can choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.One shocking finding of this research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by parents. There are strict standards for the preparation of school meals, which have to include one portion of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like bread or pasta. Lunchboxes examined by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps and chocolate bars. Children consume twice as much sugar as they should at lunchtime.The research will provide a better understanding of why the percentage of overweight students in Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government cannot criticise parents, but it can remind them of the nutritional value of milk, fruit and vegetables. Small changes in their children's diet can affect their future health. Children can easily develop bad eating habits at this age, and parents are the only ones who can prevent it.+第十二篇 A Powerful Influence 强大的影响There can be no doubt at all that the Internet has made a huge difference to our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the Internet, hardly ever doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents are curious to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to know if it can be harmful to their children. Should parents worry if their children are spending that much time staring at their computers?Obviously; if children are bent over their computers for hours, absorbed in some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. Parents and children could decide how much use the child should make of the Internet, and the child should give his or her word that it won’t interfere with homework. If the child is not holding to this arrangement, the parent can take more drastic steps dealing with a child's use of the Internet is not much different from negotiating any other soft of bargain about behaviour.Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child's behaviour should make an appointment to discuss the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the screen does not necessarily affect a child's performance at school. Even if a child is absolutely crazy about using the Internet，he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about!+第十三篇 The Old Gate 古老之门In the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them. This was partly for defensive reasons but another factor was the need to keep out anyone regarded as undesirable, like people with contagious diseases. The Old City of London gates were all demolished by the end of the 18th century. The last of London's gates was removed a century ago, but by a stroke of luck, it was never destroyed.This gate is, in actual fact, not called a gate at all; its name is Temple Bar, and it marked the boundary between the Old City of London and Westminster. In 1878 the Council of London took the Bar down, numbered the stones and put the gate in storage because its design was unfashionable it was expensive to maintain and it was blocking the traffic.The Temple Bar Trust was set up in the 1970's with the intention of returning thegate home. The aim of the trust is the preservation of the nation's architectural heritage.Transporting the gate will mean physically pulling it down, stone by stone, removing and rebuilding it near St Paul's Cathedral. Most of the facade of the gate will probably be replaced, though there is a good chance that the basic structure will be sound. The hardest job of all, however, will be to recreate the statues of the monarchs that once stood on top of the gate.+第十四篇 Family History 家族史In an age when technology is developing faster than ever before, many people are being attracted to the idea of looking back into the past. One way they can do this is by ìinvestigating their own family history. They can try to find out more about where their families came from and what they did, This is now a fast—growing hobby, especially in countries with a fairly short history, like Australia and the United States.It is one thing to spend some time going through a book on family history and to take the decision to investigate your own family's past. It is quite another to carry out the research work successfully. It is easy to set about it in a disorganized way and cause yourself many problems which could have been avoided with a little forward planning.If your own family stories tell you that you are connected with a famous character , whether hero or criminal , do not let this idea take over your research. Just treat it as an interesting possibility. A simple system for collecting and storing your information will be adequate to start with; a more complex one may only get in your way. The most important thing, though, is to get started. Who knows what you might find? +第十五篇Helen and Martin 海伦和马丁With a thoughtful sigh, Helen turned away from the window and wa1ked back to her favourite armchair. Would her brother never arrive? For a brief moment, she wondered if she really cared that much.Over the years Helen had given up waiting for Martin to take an interest in her.Her feelings for him had gradually weakened until now, as she sat waiting for him, she experienced no more than a sister's curiosity to see what had become of her brother.Almost without warning, Martin had lost, his job with a busy publishing company after spending the last eight years in New York as a key figure in the US office. Somehow the two of them hadn't bothered to keep in touch and, left alone, Helen had slowly found her confidence in her own judgment growing. Ignoring the wishes of her parents, she had left university halfway through her course and now, to the astonishment of the whole family, she was gaining a fast-growing reputation in the pages of respected art magazines and was actually earning enough to live on from her paintings.Of course, she took no pleasure in Martin's sudden misfortune, but she couldn't help looking forward to her brother's arrival with quiet satisfaction at what she had achieved.注：第13篇为2012年真题，第14篇为2013年真题，故2014年的斧复习重点为第11、12、15篇。
职称英语卫生类A级语法考点大全
职称英语卫生类A级语法考点大全一、名词或代词作主语时和谓语之间的单复数的一致问题：1.谓语和谓语基本保持单复数的一致，即：主语是可数名词单数或不可数名词时，谓语动词用单数形式：如：The computer was a great invention.(计算机是个了不起的发明)The water in the glass is very cold.(玻璃杯里的水很冷)2.集体名词(如family,class,team,group,row,police,school等)做句子主语时，① 如果表示整体概念，则谓语用单数形式，如：Class Three is a very good class.(三班是好班)② 如果表示其中的所有成员时，则谓语用复数形式，如：Class Three have a map of China.(三班有张中国地图)3.Chinese,Japanese,fish,sheep,people等表示单个时谓语用单数，表示许多时，谓语用复数。
如：There is a sheep in the yard.(院子里有只绵羊)/ There are some sheep in the yard.(院子里有一些绵羊)4.maths,news等虽然有s结尾，但不是复数，因此谓语仍用单数：The news is very exciting.(这个消息令人兴奋)5.glasses,shoes,socks,trousers,gloves等名词往往用复数形式，故谓语用复数。
如：The trousers are very cheap and I want to take them.(裤子很便宜，我想买)6.a lot of 后跟名词复数时谓语用复数形式，跟不可数名词时谓语用单数形式。
如：A lot of students are playing baseball now.(现在有许多学生在打垒球) A lot of time was wasted on that work.(大量的时间花在了那个工作上)(被动句)7.and 连接两个名词做主语时，谓语原则上用复数，但是两个名词若构成一个整体事物时，谓语则用单数。
