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.
A)additional F)explores K)specialized
B)applied G)graduates L)tension
C)demand H)operations M)trained
D)excessive I)promote N)view
E)experience J)qualifies O)worsens
【C8】
选项
答案C
解析 根据句子结构可知，此处应填入一个名词，且能与in搭配。分析上下文，此处是RudyGuardron在解释自己通过“快速通道”成为护士的原因，他认为护士需求量大，受欢迎，是个好机会。demand可以表示“需求”的意思，而且短语indemand意为“受欢迎的，需要的”，符合题意，故为本题答案。在备选名词中，experience和graduates已经使用，可排除；operations“行动；手术”，tension“紧张；紧张关系”，view“观点，看法”放在句中不符合上下文意思，可排除。
