2012年卫生类教材新增文章今年卫生类的新增文章还是集中在阅读理解和完形填空两部分，共增加新增文章10篇。
其中阅读理解的文章总共增加5篇，A级新增两篇，B级新增两篇，C级新增一篇；完形填空部分也是一共增加5篇，其中A级增加3篇，B级增加1篇，C级增加1篇。
1、卫生类新增文章难度变化分析1）阅读理解。
去年的卫生类的新增文章的题目是比较难的，今年整体难度并没有增加。
今年的C级的文章在难度上都没有太大的变化。
A级和B级新增文章难度要大一些，难度主要体现在：第一点阅读理解的文章比较长，段落比较少的文章其段落很长。
句子也是以长句子为主；第二点题面句子都比较长；第三点是阅读理解题目中，推断类和态度类的题目比较多，难度要大一些。
2）完形填空。
完形填空的难度变化不是很大。
其中A级的完形填空题目中的“Healt h Profile健康概貌”这篇文章的难度是C级难度。
文章段落和题目都相对比较简单一些。
所以整体而言，完形填空新增文章的题目难度有所降低，但是备考的范围增加了，因为A 级要准备3篇文章。
3、卫生类文章替换规律变化1）2012年的阅读理解和完形填空的新增文章总数都是5篇，这5篇的分布情况阅读理解是1（C）+2（B）+2（A），完型是1（C）+1（B）+3（A）的分配规律。
C级的这两种题型新增的均是1篇。
2）与去年（2011年新增文章）相比，新增文章替换数量的变化：阅读理解发生的变化是：去年A级和C级各新增1篇，B级新增两篇，比其他各个级别多新增一篇；今年整体数量上增加1篇，这一篇是A级新增，也就是今年A级比去年的新增数量多了一篇。
完型填空发生的变化是：去年完形填空Ａ级新增１篇，Ｂ级新增2篇，C级新增1篇；今年不仅是整体数量上增加了一篇，在分布上也发生了改变，今年的A级新增了3篇文章，比去年新增文章多出了两篇，而B级的新增情况是减少了一篇，今年只是新增了一篇。
整体的分析而言，不管是阅读理解和完形填空，C级文章在新增文章数量上都没有发生改变，而B级完形填空的新增文章数量均发生了变化，A级的阅读理解和完型填空在新增文章数量上都发生了变化。
3）第三点值得注意的是，今年的教材很多替换掉的是去年的新增文章，这和以前每年以替换掉很老的文章是不同的。
比如今年C级的“Eat Healthy健康饮食”替换掉的是去年的新增文章“Attitudes to AIDS Now对待艾滋病的最新态度”；A级的“A Health Profile 健康概貌”替换掉了去年的“Homosexuals同性恋者”。
4）今年卫生类的新增文章大部分是选自综合以及理工类教材中原有的老文章。
这也是今年才有的新的替换趋势。
这也正是从侧面反应了今年的卫生类文章题材的变化，题材会更偏向于综合类。
3、卫生类新增文章题材分析1）今年卫生类的新增文章在题材上面最显著的变化就是专业性侧重点的转变。
今年的新增文章没有出现疾病类以及药物类讲解文章。
文章的题材均是有向综合类题材靠拢的趋势。
文章内容更加贴近于生活，贴近于社会生活热点。
2）卫生类今年新增文章主题大部分是和饮食、睡眠、健康、寿命等相关的健康常识和健康理念。
这些也均是生活中的热点问题。
选择的题材更具有新闻价值和社会关注度，这在某种程度上来看，也是在考察考生对社会焦点问题的关注和了解2012年职称英语综合类新增文章篇目注：1、2012年职称英语卫生类新增阅读理解第八篇 Eat Healthy"Clean your plate!" and "Be a member of the clean-plate -club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often，it's accompanied by an appeal:" Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain abouttoo much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently，some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that，after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck ，happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.词汇:orphan /''?:f?n] / n.孤儿belly /'beli/ n.肚子nutrition / nju:'tri??n / n.营养waistline / 'weistlain / n.腰围paycheck / 'pei't?ek / n.薪金支票注释:1.

5. It's just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like agood deal. 事情是这样的，美国工人觉得做许多个小时低收入的工作下来，盘子里的饭菜量小有点不合算。
第十九篇 Prolonging Human LifeProlonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often "go on welfare" if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions arc good, most of them are simply "dumping grounds" for the dying in which "care" is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.词汇：dependency / di'pend?nsi/ n.依赖性contemporary / k?n'temp?r?ri / α.现代的obligation / ,?bli'ɡei??n / n. 义务insurance / in'?u?r?ns / n. 保险welfare / 'welfε? / n.福利senile / 'si:nail / αdj. 衰老的grave /ɡreiv / αdj. 严肃的convalescent /,k?nv?'les?nt/ αdj.康复的sponsor / 'sp?ns?/ v. 发起，资助institution /,insti'tju:??n / n. 机构注释:1.
