About 400, 000 students get hurt in the UK every year. According to the Red Cross, only 25% of students know first aid skills. Most students feel nervous when they face accidents. It’s very important for more students to take a first aid course. In this way, they will be prepared when accidents happen. If parents can only teach children one thing about first aid, they should teach them how to stay cool first. Things will get worse if they are too scared. Although students can learn the 20- hour first aid course online, it is much better to take the face- to- face course. William, a doctor from the Red Cross in the UK, said students must take a face-to-face course for at least 6 hours. Here are three tips from the first aid course. *How to deal with burns Children should be careful when using fire. If they get burnt, they should cool the burn with running water or ice first. Then put some medicine on it. After that, bandage the burn. *How to deal with small cuts Clean the cut and put a bandage on it. If the blood doesn’t stop, press the cut until it stops. When bleeding stops, put a new clean bandage on it. *How to deal with fracture (骨折) Don’t move the person. Go and look for adults or call 120 for help. Before helpers come, keep talking to the person to cheer him up. 21. Which chart shows the number of the students who know first aid skills? (■students who know first aid skills □students who don’t know first aid skills) A. B. C. D. 22. What’s the first thing parents should teach their children? A. To call 120. B. To keep cool. C. To stay away. D. To take lessons. 23. Which first aid course may William tell a student to take? A. An online course for 18 hours. B. An online course for 10 hours. C. A face-to-face course for 8 hours. D. A face-to-face course for 4 hours. 24. What is the first step if children get cut? A. Cleaning the cut. B. Cooling the cut. C. Bandaging the cut. D. Putting medicine on the cut. 25. What is the purpose (意图) of the passage? A. To tell the number of first aid course. B. To introduce the Red Cross. C To tell the difficulty of first aid course. D. To tell the importance of first aid course. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C 24. A 25.

It is a day to let people know about the importance of bees in our life. When bees fly from plant to plant, they carry pollen (花粉). The pollen makes new plants grow. There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones (雄蜂) and the queen. The queen bee is larger and longer than other bees. Her job is to lay (下蛋) eggs. She doesn’t find food by herself. The worker bees take care of her. The drone bees are lazy. They don’t work at all. Worker bees are very smart and hard-working. They can fly 10 to 15 kilometers to look for food every day. But they never get lost. They all work together to build their living place. Do you know the life of bees? The queen bee lays an egg. After three days, the larva comes out of the egg. The larva looks like a white worm. It needs to eat more food to grow. Seven days later, the larva grows into a pupa. It starts to grow the body parts. After 11 days, the pupa becomes an adult bee. Most of the bees have short lives. They usually live for 60 to 65 days. The number of bees decreases these years, so people are using technology to help save the bees. Scientists will make robot bees to help feed and look after the queen bee. This will get the queen bee to lay more eggs and have more bees. 26. Why do people set up World Bee Day? A. Because bees are in danger. B. Because bees can give us honey. C. Because bees are important in our life. D. Because bees are very hard-working. 27. Which bee lays eggs? A. The worker bee. B.

What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Birth of Bees B. The Facts of Bees C. The Helpers of Bees D. The Kinds of Bees 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. C 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界蜜蜂日以及一些关于蜜蜂的事实。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is a day to let people know about the importance of bees in our life.”可知，这个节日是为了让人们了解蜜蜂的重要性。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The queen bee is larger and longer than other bees.

About 400, 000 students get hurt in the UK every year. According to the Red Cross, only 25% of students know first aid skills. Most students feel nervous when they face accidents. It’s very important for more students to take a first aid course. In this way, they will be prepared when accidents happen. If parents can only teach children one thing about first aid, they should teach them how to stay cool first. Things will get worse if they are too scared. Although students can learn the 20- hour first aid course online, it is much better to take the face- to- face course. William, a doctor from the Red Cross in the UK, said students must take a face-to-face course for at least 6 hours. Here are three tips from the first aid course. *How to deal with burns Children should be careful when using fire. If they get burnt, they should cool the burn with running water or ice first. Then put some medicine on it. After that, bandage the burn. *How to deal with small cuts Clean the cut and put a bandage on it. If the blood doesn’t stop, press the cut until it stops. When bleeding stops, put a new clean bandage on it. *How to deal with fracture (骨折) Don’t move the person. Go and look for adults or call 120 for help. Before helpers come, keep talking to the person to cheer him up. 21. Which chart shows the number of the students who know first aid skills? (■students who know first aid skills □students who don’t know first aid skills) A. B. C. D. 22. What’s the first thing parents should teach their children? A. To call 120. B. To keep cool. C. To stay away. D. To take lessons. 23. Which first aid course may William tell a student to take? A. An online course for 18 hours. B. An online course for 10 hours. C. A face-to-face course for 8 hours. D. A face-to-face course for 4 hours. 24. What is the first step if children get cut? A Cleaning the cut. B. Cooling the cut. C. Bandaging the cut. D. Putting medicine on the cut. 25. What is the purpose (意图) of the passage? A. To tell the number of first aid course. B. To introduce the Red Cross. C. To tell the difficulty of first aid course. D. To tell the importance of first aid course. May 20th is World Bee Day. It is a day to let people know about the importance of bees in our life. When bees fly from plant to plant they carry pollen (花粉). The pollen makes new plants grow. There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones (雄蜂) and the queen. The queen bee is larger and longer than other bees. Her job is to lay (下蛋) eggs. She doesn’t find food by herself. The worker bees take care of her. The drone bees are lazy. They don’t work at all. Worker bees are very smart and hard-working. They can fly 10 to 15 kilometers to look for food every day. But they never get lost. They all work together to build their living place. Do you know the life of bees? The queen bee lays an egg. After three days, the larva comes out of the egg. The larva looks like a white worm. It needs to eat more food to grow. Seven days later, the larva grows into a pupa. It starts to grow the body parts. After 11 days, the pupa becomes an adult bee. Most of the bees have short lives. They usually live for 60 to 65 days. The number of bees decreases these years, so people are using technology to help save the bees. Scientists will make robot bees to help feed and look after the queen bee. This will get the queen bee to lay more eggs and have more bees. 26. Why do people set up World Bee Day? A. Because bees are in danger. B. Because bees can give us honey. C. Because bees are important in our life. D. Because bees are very hard-working. 27. Which bee lays eggs? A. The worker bee. B. The queen bee. C. The drone bee. D. The robot bee. 28. What is the right order of the bee’s life? A. Egg→pupa→adult bee→larva. B. Egg→adult bee→pupa→larva. C. Egg→larva→pupa→adult bee. D. Egg→pupa→larva→adult bee. 29. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “decrease”? A. To become more. B. To become slower. C. To become faster. D. To become less. 30. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Birth of Bees B. The Facts of Bees C. The Helpers of Bees D. The Kinds of Bees 信息配对 ____31____ Tina likes reading stories. She is good with children. She always reads stories to them when she is free. ____32____ Ken is interested in sports. Playing basketball is his favourite.
