问题     What does it take to be a well-trained nurse? The answer used to be two-year associate’s or four-year bachelor’s degree programs. But as the nursing shortage【C1】______, a growing number of schools and hospitals arc establishing "fast-track programs" that enable college graduates with no nursing【C2】______to become registered nurses with only a year or so of【C3】______training.
    In 1991, there were only 40 fast-track curricula; now there are more than 200. Typical is Columbia University’s Entry to Practice program. Students earn their bachelor of science in nursing in a year. Those who stay on for an【C4】______two years can earn a master’s degree that【C5】______them as nurse practitioners(执业护士)or clinical nurse specialists.
    Many students are recent【C6】______; others are career switchers. Rudy Guardron, 32, a 2004 graduate of Columbia’s program, was a premedical student in college and then worked for a pharmaceutical(药物的)research company. At Columbia, he was【C7】______as a nurse practitioner. "I saw that nurses were in high【C8】______and it looked like a really good opportunity," he says. "Also, I didn’t want to be in school for that long."
    The fast-track trend fills a need, but it’s also creating some【C9】______between newcomers and veterans. "Nurses that are still at the bedside【C10】______these kids with suspicion," says Linda Pellico, who has taught nursing at Yale University for 18 years. "They wonder, how can they do it quicker?" The answer is they don’t.

B)applied G)graduates L)tension
C)demand H)operations M)trained
D)excessive I)promote N)view
E)experience J)qualifies O)worsens
【C9】

选项

答案L

解析 空格前面有动词creating和形容词some,所以空格处需要填入名词作creating的宾语。本句表达的意思是“快速通道”的趋向使新老护士之间产生了一些“情况”。下文提到老护士对新护士持怀疑态度,由此可推断这些“情况”应是指“新老护士之间的紧张关系”,故tension“紧张;紧张关系”符合句意,为本题答案。在备选名词中,demand,experience,graduates已经使用,可排除。operations“行动;手术”和view“观点,看法”放在句中不符合句意,可排除。
