About half an hour earlier I received a call from my daughter.A ball got stuck in Jett's throat.He was struggling to breathe.I raced home to see if I could help，but the dog's mouth water had made the ball too slippery to pull out by hand.So my daughter and I began our race to the vet's(兽医诊所). About halfway there，we got caught in traffic jams due to construction.I began wildly sounding my horn(喇叭)，hoping to attract help，and ended up catching the eye of several construction workers.In an anxious voice，I told them what had happened to my dog.By then Jett was lying in the backseat，not moving.Cavaja Holt was one of the workers standing there.He stuck his hand down the dog's throat and pulled out the ball，but Jett still wasn't breathing. And the guy behind Holt shouted out，“Breathe into his mouth！Breathe into his mouth！” And Holt did.It worked！Jett soon began breathing again.After my dog was saved，I continued my trip to the vet's to make sure Jett was OK，and by the time I arrived the dog seemed to be doing much better.The staff there checked the dog over and said Jett was in good health.

The phase involved a “painstaking search of the debris” which could take weeks，Smith said，adding that a gas leak was the “likely” cause.Aided by sniffer dogs and experts from southern England，Jersey emergency workers had searched the rubble(瓦砾) overnight. Fire chief Paul Brown confirmed that firefighters were called out to investigate the smell of gas on Friday evening，more than seven hours before the explosion.But in vain.He admitted that something had gone “horribly wrong”，considering the subsequent disaster，but insisted that Jersey islanders could still have confidence in his service.Jersey's gas supplier，Island Energy，said it was working with the fire service to understand what happened. Like many others in St Helier，Jersey's Chief Minister Kristina Moore said she was awoken by the explosion.“Across the island you could hear this extraordinary sound，” she told the BBC.“It's unthinkable news，so we're all absolutely shocked and really worried about the people who are involved and about those whose lives have been lost.” The incident caps a tragic week for Jersey，a British Crown dependency not part of the United Kingdom，whose economy relies on banking，tourism and fishing.“We must call on the collective strength of the island community，” Moore said. 5.What's the possible cause of the accident? A.The gas leak. B.The gas supplier. C.The recovery operation. D.The unexpected explosion. 6.What was the main task of the recovery operation? A.Rescuing the dead. B.Searching the rubble. C.Searching for the debris. D.Working with fire service. 7.What may Paul Brown's words imply? A.He had predicted the explosion hours before it. B.The fire service was investigating the explosion. C.People lost confidence in the island's fire service. D.The fire service was partly responsible for the accident. 8.How did Moore feel after the accident? A.Panicked and frightened. B.Relieved and hopeful. C.Astonished and concerned. D.Fearful and sorrowful. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了泽西岛上发生一次爆炸事故后的搜救与调查工作，以及各部门负责人对事故的表态。 5.A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At least three people were confirmed killed in the accident early Saturday in the Channel island's port capital St Helier，following a suspected gas leak.”可知，可能是燃气泄漏导致了爆炸事故，故选A。 6.C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段“The phase involved a ‘painstaking search of the debris’ which could take weeks，Smith said，adding that a gas leak was the ‘likely’ cause.”可知，灾后重建工作，即下一阶段的工作主要是在废墟中寻找残骸，故选C。 7.D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段“Fire chief Paul Brown confirmed ...something had gone ‘horribly wrong’，considering the subsequent disaster，but insisted that Jersey islanders could still have confidence in his service.”可知，鉴于后来的爆炸事故，他承认消防部门在爆炸前几个小时对燃气气味的追踪调查工作存在重大失误，因此对这起事故也间接负有一定的责任，故选D。 8.C　[解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可推知，Moore是被爆炸惊醒的，对这一事件是难以接受的，并很关心事故的受害者和遇难者。故选C。 Ⅱ.七选五阅读 (2024·广东普通高中高三调研)My friend James did some first­aid training at work last week to learn the fundamentals of CPR and he asked if I'd ever done the same.Yes，I've attended several CPR sessions over the years.And I've always come away with a wealth of information.But no，I don't exactly feel “trained” to save lives.1.

Keep coming back. Put a note in your diary to test yourself again in a week，then ten days after that，then a month on ...Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself. Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course. 5. Remember that it's the next day when the real training starts. A.Challenge your recall later.
