2013年职称英语《卫生类B级》完形填空模拟题及答案（一）

【1】　Middle Age: A Low Point for Most

　　People around the globe hit the height of their misery and depression in middle (51) , a new international study suggests. The finding by British and American researchers was based on an analysis of well-being among approximately 2 million people in 80 nations. With few exceptions, the observation appears to apply across the board, regardless (52) gender (性别), culture, geography, wealth, job history, education, and marriage or parental status.

　　"The scientific fact seems to be that happiness and positive mental health follow a giant 'U' (53) through life," said study author Andrew J. Oswald, a professor of economics at Warwick University in Warwickshire, England. "For the average person, it's high when you're 20, and then it slowly (54) and bottoms out in your 40s. But the good news is that your (55) health picks up again, and eventually gets back to the high levels of your youth."

　　The finding was (56) on the pooling of several different sources of happiness data, including: two multi-decade happiness/satisfaction surveys (first launched in the 1970s), involving about 500,000 American and Western European men

　　and women; four rounds of the 80-nation "World Values Survey" (57) between 1981 and 2004 in North America, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Central and South America; and a 2004-2007 survey (58) nearly 1 million Britons.

　　The bottom-line: For most people throughout the world, the highest probability for (59) striking is around 44 years of age.

　　In the United States, however, some as-yet unexplained (60) differences were observed, with happiness among men dipping the most in their early 50s, whereas women hit their nadir (最低点) around the age of 40.

　　The researchers cautioned that cheerful people tend to live longer than unhappy

　　(61) - a fact that might have skewed (使偏斜) the overall finding. But they also suggested that evidence of a happiness (62) might simply reflect a midlife choice to give up long-held but no longer tenable (守得住的) aspirations (志向), followed by a senior's sense of gratitude for having successfully endured (63) others did not.

　　"That said, some might find it helpful simply to understand the general (64) of mental health as they go through their own life," said Oswald. "It might

　　be useful for people to realize that if they are (65) in their 40s this is normal. It is not exceptional. And just knowing this might help."

【2】　Migrant (移民的) Workers

　　In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most (1) to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, (2) increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers (3) the U.S.A. and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, (4) South Korea and Japan.

　　In view of the difficult living and working (5) in the Middle East, it is no surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can (6) at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major (7).

　　Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. For example, the (8) living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to (9) on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the (10) of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely (11) greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.

　　One major problem which (12) migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on (13), so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be (14) since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any (15), migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.

【3】 Rise in Number of Cancer Survivors

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States,after heart disease.In the (51),it was often considered a death sentence.But many patients now live longer(52)of improvements in discovery and treatment.

Researchers say death(53)in the United States from all cancers combined have fallen for thirty years.Survival rates have increased for most of the top fifteen cancers in both men and women,and for cancers in(54).

The National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied the number of cancer survivors.A cancer survivor is defined(55)anyone who has been found to have cancer.This would include current patients.

The study also found that 64% of adults with cancer can expect to still be(59)in five years.Thirty years ago,the five-year survival rate was 50%.The government wants to (60)the five-year survival rate to 70% by 2010.

The risk of cancer increases with age.The report says the majority of survivors are 65 years and (61).

But it says medical improvements have also helped children with cancer live(62)longer.Researchers say 80% of children with cancer will survive at least five years after the discovery.About 75% will survive at (63)ten years.

In the 1970s,the five-year survival rate for children was about 50%.In the 1960s,most children did not survive cancer.Researchers say they(64)more improvements in cancer treatment in the future.In fact,they say traditional cancer-prevention programs are not enough anymore.They say public health programs should also aim to support the (65)numbers of cancer survivors and their families.
