You will also be subject to monthly evaluations conducted by me and your respective mentors. You will be evaluated on a number of factors, including bedside manners, understanding the patients' needs, punctuality, professionalism and your ability to conform to the rules of the hospital.

把注意力放在文章开头的orientation上,很容易可以搞清楚orientation的对象是谁,文章的开始就说了the first-year nurse's orientation,所以答案是Graduate nurse。

对于这道题,当然是对提前阅读了题目的做题者更有利。当有很多个部分并列出现时,要注意常用的表达方法including...(包括)或者such as(例如……等),关注到了这些词,一般解决此类问题会很顺手。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】高级问题
听文章时要把注意力放在本题的中心词pay raise上。直到与评价有关的内容说完,文章快结束时才首次提到Your pay raise的内容。后面说到pay raise基于最终评价,所以答案是(D)。还要注意be based on的说法也可以换成depend on,意思相同。
