问题     Researchers at the University of Maryland’s School of Nursing found that 55 percent of the 2, 103 female nurses they surveyed were obese(肥胖的), citing job stress and the effect on sleep of long , irregular work hours as the cause.
    The study, which measured obesity using estimates of body mass index(体质指数), found that nursing schedules affected not only the health of the nurses but the quality of patient care .
    "Health care professionals are often involved in providing advice or care to patients that relates to things that aren’t totally under control in their own lives. It’s not uniform for health care professionals to eat well or avoid tobacco," said Dr. David Katz, the director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center.
    Keith-Thomas Ayoob, associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said nurses are just as susceptible to health problems as the rest of society.
    "Before we were health professionals, we were real people. Just because we became health professionals doesn’t mean we stopped being members of regular society with all the problems that go along with it. It illustrates that knowledge alone isn’t always enough to produce behavioral changes," said Ayoob.
    The same is true with smoking, Ayoob said.
    "We all know smoking is bad. It doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor or a nurse or a plumber. You might assume that your interest in health would be higher if you were a health professional, but a lot of doctors and nurses smoke," said Ayoob.
    " Nurses need to understand the importance of taking care of themselves before patients or their families," Ayoob said.
    To combat the high obesity rate among nurses, Kihye Han, the author of the study, proposed more education on good sleep habits, and better strategies for adapting work schedules. She also called for napping at work to relieve sleep deprivation(睡眠不足), reduce fatigue and increase energy.
The underlined words" susceptible to" in Paragraph 4 probably mean______.
选项 A、easily influenced by
B、closely connected with
C、highly sensitive to
D、very doubtful about
答案A
解析 短语语义题。结合第12题提到的那个句子，我们可大致推断健康护理人士和社会上其他人并没有两样，也有一些不好的生活习惯，也经常会受到疾病的干扰，因此“nursesare just as susceptible to health problems as the rest of society”意为“护理专业人士与社会上其他人一样容易受到疾病的困扰”，因此正确答案为A。阅读理解的判断语义题有时会考“susceptible”这样的超纲词，要求考生根据上下文猜测词义，所以考生一定要根据语境来猜测，万不可孤立于上下文之外。还有就是，考的若是字面简单的短语，万不可望文生义，因为短语的意思可能会与我们熟悉的某些词的字面意思相去甚远，一定要根据语境来猜测!切记切记!!!
