15、motional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patients illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary. The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Be
16、th Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.

24、 some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 鼎力帮助考生顺利通过大学英语四级考试！ 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 经典奉献 5 things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that
25、 effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的 ) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will le
26、arn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome. Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he not
27、iced that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where on milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn
28、 to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on”. A display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many three turns to one side. Papouseks light display was pla
29、ced directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it
30、 was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. 26. According to the author, babies learn to do things which _. A) are directly related to pleasure B
31、) will meet their physical needs C) will bring them a feeling of success D) will satisfy their curiosity 27. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _. A) would make learned responses when it saw the milk B) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink C) would continue the simp
32、le movements without being given milk D) would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink 28. In Papouseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _. A) have the lights turned on B) be rewarded with milk C) please their parents D) be praised 29. The babies wo
33、uld “smile and bubble” at the lights because _. A) the lights were directly related to some basic “drives” 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 鼎力帮助考生顺利通过大学英语四级考试！ 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 经典奉献 6 B) the sight of the lights was interesting C) they need not turn back to watch the lights D) they succeeded in “switching
34、on” the lights 30. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of _. A) a basic human desire to understand and control the world B) the satisfaction of certain physiological needs C) their strong desire to solve complex D) a fundamental human urge to display
35、 their learned skills Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturers claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单 ), or any other records which migh
36、t help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” t
37、he consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is a
38、cceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in questions. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific i
39、nformation as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo (立体声音响 ) does not work.” The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufactu
40、rer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public orga
41、nization responsible for protecting consumers rights. 31. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to _. 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 鼎力帮助考生顺利通过大学英语四级考试！ 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 经典奉献 7 A) complain personally to the manager B) threaten to take the matter to co

If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, its better to complain to _. A) a shop assistant B) the store manager C) the manufacturer D) a public organization 33. T
43、he most effective complaint can be made by _. A) showing the faulty item to the manufacturer B) explaining exactly what is wrong with the item C) saying firmly that the item of poor quality D) asking politely to change the item 34. The phrase “live up” (Para. 1, Line 2) in the context means _. A) me
44、et the standard of B) realize the purpose of C) fulfill the demands of D) keep the promise of 35. The passage tells us _. A) how to settle a consumers complaint about a faulty item B) how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item C) how to avoid buying a faulty item D) how to deal with comp
45、laints from customers Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削 ) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seem in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always take
46、n advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜 ) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she
47、 has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses the
48、y have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 鼎力帮助考生顺利通过大学英语四级考试！ 英语四级考试网 www.CET4V.com 经典奉献 8 No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vit
49、al things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用 ). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shak
