【答案解析】[听力原文] 9-10
The Royal College of Nursing has warned that too many UK nurses are being lured to work in Australia. Last year almost 5,000 nurses formally signaled an intention to find work in Australian hospitals. [9] Howard Catton, The RCN's head of policy conceded nurses were receiving attractive offers, but said the UK still needed the nurses it was training. He said: "The Australians have stepped up their recruitment activity on the basis of what they believe is unemployment and downsizing in the UK." The Australian recruitment agencies that I've spoken to since I've been here are making very attractive offers. [10]"It's not just the starting salaries. The packages include air travel for nurses' families as well—relocation expenses, temporary accommodation and the promise that they'll support an application for permanent residency." A couple of employers even offer a "meet and greet" service at the airport with chauffeur-driven limousines, so the nurses are made to feel welcome as soon as their feet touch the ground. [9] "We still believe there are nursing shortages in the UK both in the NHS and the private sector."
背景Royal College of Nursing(RCN)指英国皇家护理学院，是英国提供护理教育，培养护理人才的高等院校。
[解析] 新闻导语提到有太多护士被吸引到澳洲工作，接着给出具体数据，进而引用权威人士的话说澳洲开的条件虽好，但英国仍离不开它自己培养的护士：结尾处又提到英国现在护士人才短缺。可见，C为正确答案。
[点睛] 主旨大意题。根据新闻内容，英国正面临的问题是护士人才流失，而非护士过剩故A错误；新闻虽提及英：国有失业和裁员。的问题，但这只是澳州招聘方的观 点，属片面信息，故B错误；D不符合新闻的观点态度。故错误。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 新闻中Howard Catton提到，澳洲挖走英国护士凭借的不光是可观的起薪，还有其他优厚待遇，包括免费机票、安家费、临时住宿、帮助申请绿卡等。可见只有选项A全面概括了英国护士被吸引到澳洲工作的原因。
[点睛] 推理判断题。①预读题于可知题目考查越来越多护士选择去澳洲工作的原因，听时应重点把握因果关系。⑦选项B虽新闻有提及．但只是原因之一，不够全面；C不属于护士想去澳洲的原因；新闻是说澳洲方面向开出的条件包括永久居留权和临时住宿，因此D错误。
