开始练习测验 →1. 下面这句英文存在逗号粘连(comma splice)错误:"The patient's fever broke overnight, she was discharged the next morning." 哪一个修改是正确的?
- A.The patient's fever broke overnight, then, she was discharged the next morning.
- B.The patient's fever broke overnight; she was discharged the next morning.✓ 答案
- C.The patient's fever broke overnight, however she was discharged the next morning.
- D.The patient's fever broke overnight she was discharged the next morning.
逗号粘连是指仅用逗号连接两个独立分句。分号可以在没有连词的情况下连接两个关系紧密的独立分句,因此是正确的修改。however 和 then 是连接性副词而非并列连词,加逗号无法修复该错误;完全去掉标点则会变成融合型流水句(run-on)。

2. 下面哪一句英文正确使用了 its 和 it's?
- A.Its' important that the monitor stay in its charging dock.
- B.It's important that the monitor stay in its charging dock.✓ 答案
- C.It's important that the monitor stay in it's charging dock.
- D.Its important that the monitor stay in it's charging dock.
it's 是 it is 或 it has 的缩写,its 则是物主形式。物主代词从不加撇号,因此属于该设备的底座应写作 its charging dock;句首的 It is important 缩写为 It's。标准英语中不存在 its' 这种形式。

3. 下面这句英文属于哪种句型?"The nurse charted the vital signs and called the physician."
- A.并列复合句(compound-complex)
- B.复合句(complex)
- C.简单句(simple)✓ 答案
- D.并列句(compound)
该句只有一个主语 the nurse,谓语是并列的 charted... and called...。并列谓语并不构成第二个独立分句,因为第二个动词没有独立主语,所以仍是简单句。并列句需要两个完整的独立分句,如 The nurse charted the vital signs, and she called the physician。

4. 下面哪一句英文的标点使用正确?
- A.The supplies we need are gloves, gauze, and tape.✓ 答案
- B.We need the following supplies gloves, gauze, and tape.
- C.The supplies we need are: gloves, gauze, and tape.
- D.The supplies we need are; gloves, gauze, and tape.
冒号引出列举时,其前面必须是一个完整的独立分句,因此不能把系动词与其补语分开,如 are: gloves 就是错误的。直接省去冒号的 are gloves, gauze, and tape 是正确的。分号根本不能引出列举;以 We need the following supplies 开头的句子则在这个完整分句之后缺少冒号。

5. 下面哪一句英文表达的意思是「多位病人(复数)的病历」?
- A.The patients's charts were updated before the shift change.
- B.The patients charts were updated before the shift change.
- C.The patient's charts were updated before the shift change.
- D.The patients' charts were updated before the shift change.✓ 答案
以 -s 结尾的规则复数名词,只需在词尾加撇号构成所有格,所以 patients' 表示不止一位病人。patient's 是单数所有格(一位病人);没有撇号的 patients 只是普通复数,不表示所属;patients's 不是标准形式。

6. 填入下列英文句子空格的正确选项是?"The instructor said the results ______ that the treatment ______ recovery time."(考查 affect/effect 的用法)
- A.effect; affects
- B.show; effects
- C.affect; effects
- D.show; affects✓ 答案
affect 通常作动词,意为「影响」;effect 通常作名词,意为「结果」。第二个空需要表示「影响」的动词,故用 affects;effects 作动词时意为「促成、实现」,在此与 recovery time 搭配不当。第一个空需要动词 show。
编号 QB-HGCKRR依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — commonly confused words (affect vs. effect)报告此题的问题
7. 下面英文句子存在垂悬修饰语:"Walking down the corridor, the clipboard slipped from her hands." 哪一项修改正确?
- A.Walking down the corridor, she let the clipboard slip from her hands.✓ 答案
- B.Walking down the corridor the clipboard slipped from her hands.
- C.The clipboard, walking down the corridor, slipped from her hands.
- D.Walking down the corridor; the clipboard slipped from her hands.
句首的分词短语必须修饰紧随其后的主语,而 clipboard(写字夹板)不会走路。把真正的施动者 she 作为主语,短语就有了合乎逻辑的执行者,垂悬修饰语随之消除。删改标点无法修正垂悬修饰语;把短语移到 clipboard 旁边只会让逻辑错误更明显。
编号 QB-ZY6E6R依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.3 — dangling modifiers must have the sentence subject as their implied doer报告此题的问题
8. 下面哪一句英文正确使用了分号与连接性副词?
- A.The wound was healing well, however, the swelling persisted.
- B.The wound was healing well; however, the swelling persisted.✓ 答案
- C.The wound was healing well however; the swelling persisted.
- D.The wound was healing well; however the swelling persisted,
当 however 之类的连接性副词连接两个独立分句时,其前用分号,其后用逗号。若 however 前只用逗号,就构成逗号粘连,因为 however 是副词,不能像并列连词那样连接分句。其他选项的逗号或分号位置有误。
编号 QB-GGZ8KQ依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — semicolon before a conjunctive adverb joining two independent clauses, comma after it报告此题的问题
9. 下面哪一项是英文句子片段(fragment),而非完整句?
- A.Because the clinic closed early on Friday.✓ 答案
- B.Close the clinic early on Friday.
- C.The clinic closed early on Friday.
- D.The clinic, which closed early on Friday, reopened Monday.
由 because 等从属连词引导的从句不能独立成句,因此 Because the clinic closed early on Friday. 虽有主语和谓语,仍是片段。Close the clinic early on Friday. 是完整的祈使句,主语 you 被省略;用逗号隔开 which closed early on Friday 的那一句是完整句,其中含非限定性定语从句。
编号 QB-YYT3ZP依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.3 — fragments: a subordinate clause cannot stand alone报告此题的问题
10. 下面哪一句英文的主谓一致正确?
- A.The box of sterile syringes is stored on the lower shelf.✓ 答案
- B.The box of sterile syringes were stored on the lower shelf.
- C.The box of sterile syringes are stored on the lower shelf.
- D.The box of sterile syringes have been stored on the lower shelf.
动词与简单主语 box 一致,而不与介词短语 of sterile syringes 中的名词一致。box 是单数,因此必须用单数动词 is。are、were、have 都是被邻近的复数名词 syringes 误导,而它并不是主语。
编号 QB-ME4DCD依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.2.1 (grammar) — subject-verb agreement across an intervening prepositional phrase报告此题的问题
11. 下面哪一句英文的动词形式正确?
- A.The nurse should have saw the lab report before the rounds begun.
- B.The nurse should have saw the lab report before the rounds began.
- C.The nurse should have seen the lab report before the rounds began.✓ 答案
- D.The nurse should of seen the lab report before the rounds began.
助动词 have 之后必须用过去分词而非一般过去式,所以正确形式是 seen 而不是 saw。should of 是口语缩写 should've 的错误拼写,书面语中绝不正确。时间状语从句中用一般过去式 began 正确,因为 begun 是分词,需要助动词。
编号 QB-5X9JXD依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.2.1 (grammar) — irregular verbs: past participle after have/has/had报告此题的问题
12. 下面哪一句英文的大写使用正确?
- A.We met dr. Alvarez in the lobby, but the Doctor left before noon.
- B.We met doctor Alvarez in the lobby, but the doctor left before noon.
- C.We met Dr. Alvarez in the lobby, but the Doctor left before Noon.
- D.We met Dr. Alvarez in the lobby, but the doctor left before noon.✓ 答案
头衔直接位于人名之前时需大写,如 Dr. Alvarez;单独作普通名词使用时则小写,如 the doctor。noon 这类表示时间的词是普通名词,不大写。写成 dr. Alvarez 的句子也错,因为头衔紧接人名,必须大写。
编号 QB-KER27C依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — capitalization of titles before vs. after a name报告此题的问题
13. 下面哪一句英文保持了平行结构?
- A.Her duties include charting vitals, drawing blood, and teaching patients.✓ 答案
- B.Her duties include charting vitals, blood is drawn, and teaching patients.
- C.Her duties include charting vitals, drawing blood, and to teach patients.
- D.Her duties include to chart vitals, drawing blood, and teaching patients.
并列成分必须采用相同的语法形式。charting vitals, drawing blood, and teaching patients 使用三个 -ing 动名词短语,结构平行;其他写法把动名词与不定式(to teach、to chart)或完整分句(blood is drawn)混用,破坏了平行结构。
编号 QB-4XW7SC依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.3 — parallel structure in series报告此题的问题
14. 下面这句英文属于哪种句型?"Although the ward was full, the charge nurse found a bed, and the patient was admitted."
- A.并列句(compound)
- B.简单句(simple)
- C.复合句(complex)
- D.并列复合句(compound-complex)✓ 答案
该句包含一个从属分句 Although the ward was full,以及由逗号加并列连词 and 连接的两个独立分句。两个或以上独立分句再加至少一个从属分句,即构成并列复合句。
编号 QB-PET2QF依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.3 — the four sentence structures报告此题的问题
15. 下面哪一句英文的逗号使用正确?
- A.My supervisor who trained in Chicago, reviewed the discharge plan.
- B.My supervisor, who trained in Chicago, reviewed the discharge plan.✓ 答案
- C.My supervisor, who trained in Chicago reviewed the discharge plan.
- D.My supervisor, reviewed the discharge plan, that was written on Monday.
非限定性从句只是对已确指的名词补充信息,必须前后各加一个逗号成对隔开。只用一个逗号(如 supervisor, who trained in Chicago reviewed)会使插入成分「只括一半」。含 Chicago, reviewed 和 supervisor, reviewed 的两句还在主语与谓语之间加了逗号,这是标准标点所禁止的。
编号 QB-7XY7AG依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — commas with nonessential (nonrestrictive) elements; no comma between subject and verb报告此题的问题
16. 下面哪一句英文的代词格使用正确?
- A.The instructor gave the schedule to Maria and I.
- B.The instructor gave the schedule to Maria and me.✓ 答案
- C.The instructor gave the schedule to Maria and myself.
- D.Maria and me received the schedule from the instructor.
该代词是介词 to 的宾语,必须用宾格 me。去掉另一个名词即可听出规则:gave the schedule to I 明显错误。myself 是反身代词,需要前面有对应的主语;Maria and me received the schedule 一句则错把宾格 me 用作句子主语的一部分。
编号 QB-NEFQHE依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.2.1 (grammar) — pronoun case: objects of prepositions take the objective case报告此题的问题
17. 下面哪一句英文正确拼写了易混词(their/there/they're 等)?
- A.Their bringing there notes over they're before the review session.
- B.They're bringing their notes over there before the review session.✓ 答案
- C.There bringing they're notes over their before the review session.
- D.They're bringing there notes over their before the review session.
they're 是 they are 的缩写;their 是表示所属的物主限定词,用于 notes;there 表示地点。把 they are 代入即可确认只有第一处用缩写,笔记归他们所有,表地点的词必须是 there。
编号 QB-6XMV4F依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — homophones: their / there / they're报告此题的问题
18. 下面英文句子存在错位修饰语:"The nurse handed the chart to the resident that was covered in coffee." 哪一项修改正确?
- A.The nurse handed the chart to the resident, that was covered in coffee.
- B.The nurse handed the chart to the resident; that was covered in coffee.
- C.Covered in coffee, the nurse handed the chart to the resident.
- D.The nurse handed the chart that was covered in coffee to the resident.✓ 答案
修饰性从句应紧邻其所修饰的词;原句中 that was covered in coffee 看起来在修饰 resident。把该从句移到 chart 之后,意思才清楚。加逗号或分号并不能改变修饰语的位置;以 Covered in coffee, the nurse 开头的句子则变成护士被咖啡弄湿。
编号 QB-GEP2P8依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.3 — misplaced modifiers must sit next to what they modify报告此题的问题
19. 下面哪一句英文在不定代词的主谓一致上是正确的?
- A.Everyone on the two night teams were required to attend.
- B.Neither of the results were conclusive.
- C.Everyone on the two night teams was required to attend.✓ 答案
- D.Each of the students have completed the clinical hours.
everyone、each、either、neither 等不定代词在语法上是单数,需用单数动词,不受随后介词短语中复数名词的影响。因此 Everyone... was 正确,而 each... have 与 neither... were 错误地与邻近的复数名词一致。
编号 QB-ZWU799依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.2.1 (grammar) — singular indefinite pronouns take singular verbs报告此题的问题
20. 按美式规范,下面哪一句英文的引号与句末标点使用正确?
- A.The physician said "The wound is healing well".
- B.The physician said, "The wound is healing well."✓ 答案
- C.The physician said, "The wound is healing well".
- D.The physician said that, "the wound is healing well."
美式规范中,引导语与直接引语之间用逗号隔开,引语首词大写,句末句号置于引号之内。有两个选项把句号放在引号外(well".),其中一个还漏掉了 said 后的逗号;含 said that, 的选项把间接引语的 that 结构与引号混用。
编号 QB-HC48U9依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — quotation marks with direct quotations; periods and commas inside closing quotation marks (U.S. style)报告此题的问题
21. 下面哪一句英文的连字符使用正确?
- A.A well known cardiologist examined the 62 year old patient.
- B.A well-known cardiologist examined the 62-year-old patient.✓ 答案
- C.A highly-rated cardiologist examined the 62-year old patient.
- D.A well-known cardiologist examined the patient, who is 62-years-old.
复合形容词位于所修饰名词之前时需加连字符,故 well-known cardiologist 与 62-year-old patient 都要用连字符。若置于名词之后则不加,因此 who is 62-years-old 的写法错误;以 -ly 结尾的副词(如 highly)与其后形容词之间绝不加连字符。
编号 QB-ZUW299依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — hyphenation of compound adjectives before a noun; no hyphen after -ly adverbs报告此题的问题
22. 下面英文句子是融合型流水句:"The alarm sounded the technician silenced it immediately." 哪一项修改正确?
- A.The alarm sounded: the technician, silenced it immediately.
- B.When the alarm sounded, the technician silenced it immediately.✓ 答案
- C.The alarm sounded, the technician silenced it immediately.
- D.Because the alarm sounded the technician, silenced it immediately.
融合型流水句是把两个独立分句毫无标点地连在一起,标准修改之一是从属化。加上 When 使第一个分句变成从属分句并用逗号隔开,只剩一个独立分句。只加一个逗号只是把流水句变成逗号粘连,其余选项则把主语与谓语割裂。
编号 QB-GCRVN8依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.3 — run-on (fused) sentences and the four standard corrections报告此题的问题
23. 在英文句子 "The exhausted resident quickly reviewed the chart." 中,哪个词是副词?
- A.chart
- B.exhausted
- C.quickly✓ 答案
- D.reviewed
副词修饰动词、形容词或其他副词;quickly 说明「怎样查看」,修饰动词。exhausted 是作形容词用的分词,描述 resident;reviewed 是主要动词;chart 是作直接宾语的名词。

24. 下面英文句子代词指代不清:"When Dana met Kayla, she had just finished her clinical rotation." 哪一项修改最恰当?
- A.When Dana met Kayla, Kayla had just finished her clinical rotation.✓ 答案
- B.When Dana met Kayla, they had just finished her clinical rotation.
- C.When Dana met Kayla, she had just finished their clinical rotation.
- D.When Dana met Kayla, she had just finished her own clinical rotation.
代词必须明确指向唯一先行词,而 she 既可指 Dana 也可指 Kayla。用名词 Kayla 替换该模糊代词,指代即变明确。其他修改只是增加新代词,仍未说明是谁完成了轮转实习。
编号 QB-FCDJG7依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.2.1 (grammar) — pronoun reference must be clear and unambiguous报告此题的问题
25. 下面哪一句英文在并列连词处的逗号使用正确?
- A.The lab sent the results early, so the team adjusted the treatment plan.✓ 答案
- B.The lab sent the results early, the team adjusted the treatment plan.
- C.The lab sent the results, and adjusted the treatment plan.
- D.The lab sent the results early so, the team adjusted the treatment plan.
只有当并列连词连接两个独立分句时,才在其前加逗号;early, so the team adjusted 的两部分各有主语和谓语。early so, the team 把逗号放在连词之后;sent the results, and adjusted 在只有一个主语的并列谓语前误加逗号;early, the team adjusted 没有连词,属于逗号粘连。
编号 QB-XU7DW6依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — comma before a coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses; no comma with a compound predicate报告此题的问题
26. 下面哪一句英文正确使用了 than 与 then?
- A.The second dose was smaller then the first, and then the symptoms eased.
- B.The second dose was smaller than the first, and then the symptoms eased.✓ 答案
- C.The second dose was smaller than the first, and than the symptoms eased.
- D.The second dose was smaller then the first, and than the symptoms eased.
than 是用于比较的连词,比较级形容词 smaller 之后必须用它。then 是表示时间的副词,意为「接着」,用来引出随后发生的事。二者互换会造成比较结构缺失比较词、时间表达却又无所比较。
编号 QB-EC28B6依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — commonly confused words (than vs. then)报告此题的问题
27. 下面哪一句英文正确使用了分号?
- A.The conference drew attendees from; Austin, Texas, Reno, Nevada, and Erie, Pennsylvania.
- B.The conference drew attendees from Austin, Texas; Reno, Nevada; and Erie, Pennsylvania.✓ 答案
- C.Because the conference ran late; the closing session was canceled.
- D.The conference drew attendees from Austin, Texas, Reno, Nevada, and Erie, Pennsylvania.
当列举项本身含有逗号时,分号充当「超级逗号」来清晰分隔各项,如 Austin, Texas; Reno, Nevada; and Erie, Pennsylvania。全用逗号的写法使读者无法分辨每组城市与州的界限。分号绝不能像 from; Austin 那样引出列举,也绝不能像 Because the conference ran late; the closing… 那样连接从属分句与独立分句。
编号 QB-WUU2R5依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — semicolon as separator for series items containing internal commas报告此题的问题
28. 下面哪一句英文拼写正确?
- A.The committee misspelled two unecessary items on the refered chart.
- B.The committee mispelled two unecessary items on the refered chart.
- C.The committee misspelled two unnecessary items on the referred chart.✓ 答案
- D.The committee mispelled two unnecessary items on the referred chart.
加前缀绝不改变词根拼写,因此 mis + spell 得 misspell,un + necessary 得 unnecessary,接缝处各出现双写字母。refer 结尾符合「辅音-元音-辅音」且末音节重读,故在元音后缀 -ed 前双写 r,得 referred。
编号 QB-NCHJHE依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — prefix rule (root spelling unchanged) and final-consonant doubling before a vowel suffix in stressed syllables报告此题的问题
29. 下面哪一句英文使用了正确的复数形式?
- A.Two separate diagnoses were listed in the childrens' records.
- B.Two separate diagnosises were listed in the childrens' records.
- C.Two separate diagnoses were listed in the children's records.✓ 答案
- D.Two separate diagnosis were listed in the childrens records.
源自希腊语或拉丁语、以 -is 结尾的名词把 -is 变为 -es 构成复数,故为 diagnoses。children 本身已是不以 -s 结尾的不规则复数,其所有格需加撇号加 s,即 children's。childrens' 与 diagnosises 在标准英语中并不存在。
编号 QB-5VBDXD依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — irregular and Latin/Greek plurals; E.1.2 — possessive of irregular plurals报告此题的问题
30. 下面哪一句英文在句首状语成分处的标点使用正确?
- A.After the medication, was administered the patient rested comfortably.
- B.After the medication was administered; the patient rested comfortably.
- C.After the medication was administered, the patient rested comfortably.✓ 答案
- D.After the medication was administered the patient rested comfortably.
句首的从属分句之后、主句之前应加逗号。was administered the patient rested 漏掉了这个必需的逗号;After the medication, was administered 在从句内部把主语与谓语割开;administered; the patient 用了分号,而分号只能连接两个独立分句,绝不能连接从属分句。
编号 QB-EA43B6依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.2 — comma after an introductory dependent clause报告此题的问题
31. 下面哪一句英文正确使用了 principal 与 principle?
- A.The principle reason for the policy is a basic principal of patient safety.
- B.The principal reason for the policy is a basic principle of patient safety.✓ 答案
- C.The principle reason for the policy is a basic principle of patient safety.
- D.The principal reason for the policy is a basic principal of patient safety.
principal 作形容词意为「主要的」,故修饰 reason;principle 是名词,意为「原则、准则」,安全标准正属此类。可用记忆法:principle 与 rule 都以 -le 结尾,表示「规则」。
编号 QB-XS98W6依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline E.1.1 — commonly confused words (principal vs. principle)报告此题的问题
32. 一名护士正在为一位没有任何医学背景的病人书写出院指导。下列哪个英文句子最符合该读者对象的需要?
- A."Walk with someone helping you, and call your doctor if you have trouble breathing."(让人扶着你走路;如果呼吸困难就给医生打电话)✓ 答案
- B."Postoperative ambulation should be undertaken only with appropriate supervision."(术后行走应仅在适当监督下进行)
- C."Don't overdo it — you'll know when something feels off."(别做过头——不对劲时你自己会知道)
- D."Ambulate with assistance and report any dyspnea to the provider."(在协助下行走,如有呼吸困难请报告医护人员)
语言是否恰当要以读者为准,而不是看它听起来是否专业。"Ambulate"、"dyspnea"、"postoperative" 都是临床术语,普通病人未必看得懂,所以使用这些词的两句虽然最"专业"却不符合读者需求;"Don't overdo it" 过于含糊,病人无法据此行动。"Walk with someone helping you, and call your doctor…" 保留了相同的医嘱内容,却使用日常词汇,病人真正能照做。
编号 QB-FAFDG7依据: ATI TEAS 7 Content Outline, English and Language Usage E.2.2 — evaluate if language meets the needs of an audience for a provided rhetorical context (plain-language principle for lay audiences)报告此题的问题
33. 某医院要印发一份面向患者的健康教育手册,草稿中的句子是:"You shouldn't skip the second dose, 'cause it won't work as well." 下列哪一种改写最适合这份出版物?
- A."Omission of the second dose results in a diminution of pharmacologic efficacy."(第二剂的遗漏会导致药理疗效的减损)
- B."You really shouldn't skip that second dose, okay?"(你真的不该漏掉第二剂,好吗?)
- C."Skipping the second dose reduces the medicine's effectiveness."(漏服第二剂会降低药物的效果)✓ 答案
- D."Don't skip that second dose — it won't work as well."(别漏掉第二剂——效果会变差)
正式出版的宣传册需要偏正式的语体:不用缩写形式,不用 "'cause" 这类口语省略,也不用 "okay?" 这种闲聊式附加语。"You really shouldn't skip… okay?" 和 "Don't skip that second dose —" 两句保留了这些非正式标记;"Omission of the second dose…" 虽然正式,但 "diminution of pharmacologic efficacy" 这类拉丁词源用语是写给临床人员的,不是写给患者的。只有 "Skipping the second dose reduces the medicine's effectiveness" 既符合正式语体,又能被目标读者读懂。
编号 QB-YSMJ38依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.2 — formal vs. informal register markers (contractions, slang, colloquial tags) matched to audience报告此题的问题
34. 如果一篇英文文章的写作目的是"说服"(persuade)读者去接种流感疫苗,下列哪个句子最合适?
- A."Influenza is a viral illness that affects the respiratory system."(流感是一种影响呼吸系统的病毒性疾病)
- B."The influenza vaccine is produced annually and is given by injection."(流感疫苗每年生产,通过注射接种)
- C."An influenza pandemic once spread across the globe within months."(曾有一次流感大流行在数月内席卷全球)
- D."Getting your flu shot is the simplest step you can take to protect the people you love."(打流感疫苗是你保护所爱之人最简单的一步)✓ 答案
说服性写作会直接面向读者,诉诸价值或利益,促使读者采取行动。介绍流感是什么、疫苗如何生产、以及过去一次大流行的三句都是说明性的中性事实陈述,放在百科词条里也毫无违和。只有 "Getting your flu shot…" 使用第二人称 "your" 并诉诸情感价值 "the people you love",敦促读者行动,这正是说服目的的标志。
编号 QB-CADDY3依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.2 — identifying author's purpose (inform, persuade, entertain, express) and matching diction to it报告此题的问题
35. 下面这句英文如何改写才最简洁、又不改变原意?"Due to the fact that the patient was experiencing feelings of nausea, the nurse made the decision to postpone the meal."
- A."Because the patient was nauseated, the nurse postponed the meal."(因为病人恶心,护士推迟了这一餐)✓ 答案
- B."The patient had feelings of nausea, so the nurse decided to make a postponement of the meal."(病人有恶心感,所以护士决定作出推迟用餐的决定)
- C."Due to the fact of nausea, the meal was postponed by the nurse."(由于恶心这一事实,这餐被护士推迟了)
- D."The nurse postponed the meal, the reason being that the patient was experiencing nausea."(护士推迟了这一餐,其原因在于病人正在经历恶心)
简洁的写作会把冗长短语压缩成单词:"due to the fact that" 改为 "because","was experiencing feelings of nausea" 改为 "was nauseated",名词化结构 "made the decision to postpone" 还原为动词 "postponed"。"Because the patient was nauseated, the nurse postponed the meal" 同时做到这三点且保留了因果关系;其余改写至少保留了一处冗词或无力的被动结构。
编号 QB-VSJJJ4依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.1 — using grammar to enhance clarity; standard concision rule ("omit needless words"; replace nominalizations with verbs)报告此题的问题
36. 下列哪个英文句子没有语义重复(redundancy)?
- A."Please repeat the instructions again for the patient."(请再重复一遍指示给病人)
- B."The final outcome was an unexpected surprise to the staff."(最终的结果对工作人员来说是个意外的惊讶)
- C."The nurse repeated the instructions for the patient."(护士为病人重复了指示)✓ 答案
- D."The two twins arrived at 3 a.m. in the morning."(那两个双胞胎在凌晨3点的早上到达)
语义重复指某个词重复了另一个词已经包含的意思。"twins" 本身就是两个,"3 a.m." 本身就是早上,"repeat" 本身就含"再一次",而 "surprise" 按定义就是意料之外的,"outcome" 按定义就是最终的。只有 "The nurse repeated the instructions for the patient" 中每个意思只表达一次,删掉任何词都会损失信息。

37. 下列哪个英文句子把动作表达得最清楚、最直接?
- A."The wound dressing was in the process of being changed."(伤口敷料正处于被更换的过程中)
- B."A dressing change was performed on the wound by the nurse."(伤口的换药由护士实施)
- C."The nurse changed the wound dressing."(护士更换了伤口敷料)✓ 答案
- D."It was the nurse by whom the dressing was changed."(敷料是被护士更换的)
主动语态中主语就是动作的执行者,读者用最少的字就知道"谁做了什么"。其余三句要么是被动语态,要么啰嗦:把施动者推到句末甚至省略,还把有力的动词 "changed" 变成名词短语 "a dressing change" 或冗长的 "in the process of being changed"。只有 "The nurse changed the wound dressing" 直接点明施动者、动作和对象。

38. 下列哪个英文句子最清楚地表达"护士查看了几乎全部病历"这一意思?
- A."The nurse nearly checked every chart."(护士差点就查看了每份病历)
- B."Nearly, the nurse checked every chart."(几乎地,护士查看了每份病历)
- C."The nurse checked nearly every chart."(护士查看了几乎每一份病历)✓ 答案
- D."The nurse checked every chart nearly."(护士几乎地查看了每份病历)
"nearly"、"only"、"almost" 这类限定性修饰语修饰紧跟其后的成分,位置一变意思就变。"The nurse nearly checked every chart" 中 "nearly" 放在动词前,意思变成"差点就去查了";"Nearly, the nurse checked…" 和 "…every chart nearly" 位置错误且不合英语习惯。只有 "The nurse checked nearly every chart" 把 "nearly" 紧放在 "every chart" 之前,限定的是数量而不是动作。
编号 QB-JAHDZA依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.1 — placement of limiting/misplaced modifiers (a modifier belongs next to the word it modifies)报告此题的问题
39. 下列哪个英文句子提供的信息最精确?
- A."The patient's temperature was kind of high this morning."(病人今早体温有点高)
- B."The patient's temperature was 102.4°F at 08:00."(病人08:00时体温为102.4°F)✓ 答案
- C."The patient seemed warm to the touch and stuff."(病人摸上去有点热什么的)
- D."The patient had a bad fever thing going on."(病人发着挺厉害的烧之类的)
精确的写作用具体、可核查的细节取代含糊的修饰。"kind of high"、"a bad fever thing"、"and stuff" 都过于笼统,无法量化也无法据以行动,不同读者理解也可能不同。"102.4°F at 08:00" 给出了确切的数值和时间,任何读者读到的信息都完全一致。
编号 QB-3TPJKB依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.1 — precise word choice; avoid vague or overly general wording报告此题的问题
40. 哪个英文单词能最精确地补全这句话?"The nurse ______ the medication into the IV line slowly over two minutes."
- A."administered"(给药、施用)✓ 答案
- B."did"(做)
- C."got"(弄到、拿到)
- D."put"(放)
精确用词要选出能准确指明动作的动词,而不是万能动词。"did"、"put"、"got" 几乎可以描述任何动作,读者只能靠猜。"administered" 专指"给药、实施治疗",正好承载句子所需的专业含义。
编号 QB-B84WS2依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.1 — precise word choice (select the specific verb over a general-purpose verb)报告此题的问题
41. 下面这句英文怎样改写最清楚?"When Maria met with Dr. Chen, she reviewed her lab results."
- A."She reviewed her lab results when Maria met with Dr. Chen."(Maria见Chen医生时,她查看了她的化验结果)
- B."Maria met with Dr. Chen, and she went over the results of hers."(Maria见了Chen医生,她看了她的那些结果)
- C."When Maria met with Dr. Chen, the doctor reviewed Maria's lab results."(Maria见Chen医生时,这位医生查看了Maria的化验结果)✓ 答案
- D."When Maria met with Dr. Chen, she reviewed her lab results with her."(Maria见Chen医生时,她和她一起看了她的化验结果)
代词必须明确指向唯一的先行词。原句中的 "she" 和 "her" 既可能指Maria也可能指Chen医生,读者无法判断是谁查看了谁的结果。"the doctor reviewed Maria's lab results" 用名词点明了动作者和结果的归属,消除了歧义;其他改写仍保留甚至增加了含混的代词。
编号 QB-TQWQ72依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.1 — ambiguous/vague pronoun reference must be revised for clarity报告此题的问题
42. 护士希望句子带有同情、体贴的语气(sympathetic tone)。下列哪个结尾最合适?"Your recovery will take time, and ______"
- A."we will support you at every step."(我们会在每一步都支持你)✓ 答案
- B."you will simply have to deal with it."(你只能自己去应付)
- C."the timeline is what it is."(时间表就是这样,没办法)
- D."full compliance is expected."(要求完全遵从)
语气是作者的用词向读者传达出的态度。"deal with it" 和 "is what it is" 显得冷淡敷衍,"full compliance is expected" 则是把病人当作服从对象的冷硬命令。"we will support you at every step" 使用包容而安抚的措辞,正是同情语气的来源。
编号 QB-C8F8Y3依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.2 — tone and its effect on the reader; matching diction and connotation to intended tone报告此题的问题
43. 阅读这句英文:"Sure, another twelve-hour shift — exactly what I was hoping for." 这句话的语气(tone)是什么?
- A.正式、学术
- B.讽刺(sarcastic)✓ 答案
- C.客观中立
- D.真诚而感激
讽刺是指字面意思与实际想表达的意思相反,而语境提示了这种反转。几乎没有人会盼着再加一个十二小时的班,所以 "exactly what I was hoping for" 不可能是真心话;开头无奈的 "Sure" 和破折号更强化了这种假装的热情。因此语气是讽刺,而非感激、中立或正式。
编号 QB-UQ93D3依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.2 — identifying tone (objective, sympathetic, urgent, sarcastic, optimistic) from diction and context报告此题的问题
44. 哪个英文过渡词最适合填入?"The medication reduced the patient's pain within an hour. ______, it caused mild drowsiness that lasted all afternoon."
- A."Therefore"(因此,表因果)
- B."In summary"(总之,表总结)
- C."However"(然而,表转折)✓ 答案
- D."For example"(例如,表举例)
过渡词必须与两个意思之间的逻辑关系相匹配。前一句讲的是好处,后一句讲的是副作用,二者构成转折关系,而 "however" 正是表转折的过渡词。"Therefore" 表因果,"for example" 表举例,"in summary" 表总结,都无法表达"好处对副作用"的这种对比。
编号 QB-D8TJ55依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.3 — transition words grouped by function (addition, contrast, cause/effect, sequence, example, conclusion)报告此题的问题
45. 某段落将包含这些细节:接触病人前的手部卫生、正确使用手套、公共表面的消毒、锐器的安全处置。下列哪个英文句子最适合作主题句(topic sentence)?
- A."Several simple practices help prevent the spread of infection in a clinic."(几项简单的做法有助于防止诊所内感染扩散)✓ 答案
- B."Sharps must be placed in a puncture-resistant container."(锐器必须放入防刺穿容器)
- C."Infection can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi."(感染可由细菌、病毒或真菌引起)
- D."Gloves are available in several sizes and materials."(手套有多种尺寸和材质)
主题句要陈述所有支撑细节共同说明的那个中心意思:它必须比任何单个细节更宽泛,但又不能跑题。关于利器盒和手套尺寸的两句本身就是支撑细节,涵盖不了其他内容;关于细菌、病毒或真菌的那句谈的是感染的病因,而所给细节都没有涉及。"Several simple practices help prevent the spread of infection" 点出了"预防性做法"这个总括概念,四个细节都能归入其中。
编号 QB-VQMDJ4依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.3 — develop a well-organized paragraph (topic sentence states the main idea; supporting sentences develop it)报告此题的问题
46. 为保持段落的统一性(unity),下面这段英文中应删去哪一句?"(1) Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health. (2) Walking thirty minutes a day can lower a person's resting heart rate. (3) My cousin bought new running shoes last week. (4) Even moderate activity reduces blood pressure over time."
- A.第(4)句
- B.第(2)句
- C.第(1)句
- D.第(3)句✓ 答案
统一的段落只包含支持主题句的句子。第(1)句提出中心意思(运动改善心血管健康),第(2)、(4)句提供了生理学证据。第(3)句讲的是买跑鞋的个人轶事,对该健康论断毫无支撑作用,破坏了段落的统一性,应当删去。
编号 QB-E86WA6依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.2.3 — paragraph unity and coherence (every supporting sentence must develop the main idea)报告此题的问题
47. 下列哪种顺序能把这几句英文排成逻辑最通顺的段落?W. Finally, apply a sterile dressing. X. First, wash your hands thoroughly. Y. Then clean the wound with saline. Z. Next, pat the area dry with sterile gauze.
- A.X, Y, Z, W✓ 答案
- B.X, Z, Y, W
- C.Y, X, Z, W
- D.W, X, Y, Z
表顺序的过渡词本身就标示了先后:"First" 开启流程,"Then" 和 "Next" 承接,"Finally" 收尾。内容也印证同样的时间顺序——接触伤口前先洗手,先冲洗才能擦干,擦干后敷料才能贴牢。因此顺序为 X, Y, Z, W。

48. 根据构词成分判断,医学术语 "bradycardia" 是什么意思?
- A.心率异常过快
- B.心脏肥大
- C.心率异常过慢✓ 答案
- D.心脏发炎
前缀 brady- 源自希腊语 bradys,意为"慢";词根 cardi- 源自 kardia,意为"心";因此 bradycardia 字面意思就是心跳缓慢。表示"快"的前缀是 tachy-(tachycardia),表示"肥大"的后缀是 -megaly(cardiomegaly),表示"炎症"的后缀是 -itis(carditis),因此其余三项被排除。

49. 在单词 "dermatitis" 中,后缀 -itis 表示什么?
- A.疼痛
- B.……学、对……的研究
- C.手术切除
- D.炎症、发炎✓ 答案
在医学术语中,后缀 -itis 一律表示词根所指部位的炎症,因此 dermat-(皮肤)加 -itis 就是皮肤发炎。手术切除是 -ectomy(appendectomy),"……学"是 -ology(dermatology),疼痛是 -algia(neuralgia)。

50. 某病人的血糖低于正常范围。下列哪个英文术语使用了表示"低于、不足"的前缀?
- A."hypoglycemia"✓ 答案
- B."hyperglycemia"
- C."interglycemia"
- D."antiglycemia"
前缀 hypo- 意为"在下、低于、不足",而与之形近的 hyper- 意为"在上、过多",因此 hypoglycemia 是低血糖,hyperglycemia 是高血糖。anti- 表"抗、反对",inter- 表"在……之间",都不能表示水平过低。
编号 QB-P43QZ4依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.3.2 — prefix contrast hypo- (below/deficient) vs. hyper- (above/excessive)报告此题的问题
51. 根据构词成分判断,"intramuscular" 注射是打在什么位置?
- A.在肌肉下方
- B.在两块肌肉之间
- C.横跨肌肉表面
- D.在肌肉内部✓ 答案
拉丁前缀 intra- 意为"在内部",所以 intramuscular 指进入肌肉组织内部。它容易与 inter- 混淆,后者意为"在……之间"(intercostal = 肋骨之间);sub- 意为"在下"(subcutaneous = 皮下),trans- 意为"穿过"(transdermal),这些前缀对应的都是别的注射部位。
编号 QB-7M8VK5依据: ATI TEAS 7 E.3.2 — prefix contrast intra- (within) vs. inter- (between), sub- (under), trans- (across)报告此题的问题
52. 一份病历中出现了生词 "hepatomegaly"。根据构词成分推断,它最可能是什么意思?
- A.肝脏肿大✓ 答案
- B.肝脏发炎
- C.关于肝脏的学科
- D.肝脏的手术切除
词根 hepat- 意为"肝",后缀 -megaly 意为"肿大",因此 hepatomegaly 就是肝肿大。各干扰项对应的是同一词根配不同后缀:-ectomy 得 hepatectomy(切除),-itis 得 hepatitis(炎症),-ology 得 hepatology(肝病学)——可见确定词义的关键在于解读后缀,而不只是词根。

53. 在单词 "transdermal" 中,哪个构词成分表示"穿过、透过"?
- A."-al"
- B."derm"
- C.整个单词,不可拆分
- D."trans-"✓ 答案
前缀是加在词根前面的词缀,trans- 就是表示"穿过、透过"的拉丁前缀。该词中的词根 derm 意为"皮肤",派生后缀 -al 把整个词变成形容词;因此 transdermal patch 就是透过皮肤给药的贴剂。

54. 阅读句子:"Unlike her gregarious roommate, Dana avoided parties and preferred to read alone." 根据上下文,"gregarious" 是什么意思?
- A.安静、内向的
- B.爱社交、外向的✓ 答案
- C.粗心、没条理的
- D.花钱大方的
信号词 "unlike" 提示这是反义(对比)线索:室友的特点应与Dana相反。既然Dana回避聚会、喜欢独处,室友就一定喜欢与人交往,所以 "gregarious" 意为"爱社交的"。选"安静内向"是典型错误——把描述Dana的特征直接套到了室友身上,忽略了对比要反转。

55. 阅读句子:"The technician was meticulous about labeling specimens: she verified each patient's name, the date, and the collection time before sealing every tube." 此处 "meticulous" 是什么意思?
- A.对细节极其仔细的✓ 答案
- B.不耐烦、匆忙的
- C.健忘、不可靠的
- D.异常迅速的
冒号后面举出的例子实际上定义了这个词:逐管核对姓名、日期和采集时间,正是一个高度关注细节的人的行为。这属于举例/解释型语境线索,而所列行为与"匆忙""健忘""迅速"都相矛盾,因此只有"对细节极其仔细"站得住脚。

56. 阅读句子:"The patient reported malaise, a general feeling of discomfort and fatigue, for three days before the visit." 读者是靠哪一类语境线索(context clue)判断出 "malaise" 的意思的?
- A.举例线索
- B.定义(同义复述)线索✓ 答案
- C.反义(对比)线索
- D.没有线索,只能猜测
紧跟在该词之后、由逗号隔开的短语直接把词义复述了出来,这就是定义(同义复述)线索;这类线索通常由逗号、破折号、括号或 "or" 引出。句中既没有 "unlike"、"but" 之类的对比信号,也没有列举实例,所以不是反义线索或举例线索。

57. 在这句话中,"chart" 一词是什么意思?"The nurse will chart the patient's vital signs before the end of the shift."
- A.流行歌曲排行榜
- B.一张印刷的数字表格
- C.航海/航空用的地图
- D.把信息记入病人的病历(动词)✓ 答案
"chart" 是一词多义词,句中的词性决定了取哪个义项:它跟在助动词 "will" 之后并带宾语 "vital signs",所以是动词而非名词。表格、航海图、排行榜这三个义项都是名词,无法填入动词位置,因此只能取临床含义"记入病历"。

58. 下面四个英文单词都描述"生气",哪一个表示的愤怒程度最强?
- A."displeased"(不悦)
- B."irritated"(恼火)
- C."annoyed"(有点烦)
- D."furious"(暴怒)✓ 答案
近义词之间存在强度差异,这种意义层面叫做"词义的浓淡"或程度分级。"annoyed"、"displeased"、"irritated" 描述的都是轻微、可控的不快,而 "furious" 指的是强烈到难以自控的暴怒。因此在同义词中取舍,必须让词的强度与情感的强度相匹配。

59. 作者想以褒义的方式描述一个花钱谨慎的人。下列哪个英文单词的感情色彩(connotation)最正面?
- A."stingy"(小气)
- B."miserly"(吝啬)
- C."thrifty"(节俭)✓ 答案
- D."cheap"(抠门)
这四个词的字面意义(denotation)大致相同——花钱少,但感情色彩(connotation)不同,即词语附带的情感联想。"stingy"、"cheap"、"miserly" 都暗含自私、不肯付出的意味,是在贬低对方;"thrifty" 则暗示善于理财,正是作者想要的褒义表达。
编号 QB-7DS6XT依据: ATI TEAS 7 vocabulary acquisition — connotation vs. denotation in word selection报告此题的问题
60. 英文单词 "slender" 和 "scrawny" 都用来形容瘦的人。下列哪种说法最准确地解释了二者的区别?
- A."slender" 是字面意义,"scrawny" 是感情色彩。
- B.它们的字面意义相近,但 "scrawny" 带有负面的感情色彩。✓ 答案
- C.它们的字面意义不同,但感情色彩完全相同。
- D.两个词都不带感情色彩,因为它们都是形容词。
denotation 指词典上的字面意义,connotation 指附加的情感联想。两个词都表示"瘦",但 "slender" 暗示体态优美的苗条,"scrawny" 暗示瘦得不健康、皮包骨,所以差异只在感情色彩上。说 "slender" 是 denotation、"scrawny" 是 connotation 混淆了这两个概念,把它们当成给单个词贴的标签,而它们其实是每个词都具备的两个意义层面。

61. 参考这条英文词典条目:resolve (ri-ZOLV) v. 1. to find a solution to 2. to decide firmly on a course of action 3. to separate into component parts n. 4. firm determination。在句子 "After a long discussion, the team was able to resolve the scheduling conflict" 中,应取第几个义项?
- A.义项 4
- B.义项 2
- C.义项 1✓ 答案
- D.义项 3
选取义项时必须同时匹配词性和语境。句中 "resolve" 位于 "able to" 之后并带宾语 "conflict",因此是动词,排除名词义项4。"conflict"(冲突)是被"解决"的对象,而不是被下定决心去做或被拆解成成分的东西,所以适用的是义项1 "to find a solution to"。
