In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet-melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of painful efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said Zhang Wenjun, a colleague of Wu’s.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers. And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8, 000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources, from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance, said Yi Hongping, former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Center.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number of honors. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.
4. Why did Wu Mingzhu mainly want to grow high-end melons?
A. Because she wanted to make China the largest producer of melons.
B. Because China is the largest consumer of melons in the world.
C. Because she wanted to create something that could serve people.
D. Because Chinese government asked her to grow high quality melons.
5. What can we learn about from Paragraph 4?
A. Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could resist every disease.
B. Wu and her team cultivated high quality melons from the new germ-plasm resources.
C. Wu and her team cultivated 30 watermelon varieties from radiation mutation breeding.
D. Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could adapt to any circumstance.
6. Which of the following about Wu Mingzhu is NOT true from the text?
A. She has cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties.
B. She is committed to her work and makes remarkable achievements.
C. She helps make China the largest producer of fruit in the world in 2018.
D. She is awarded a number of honorary titles due to her contributions.
7. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A book review.
C. A school notice. D. A news report.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. (她认为生活中最美好的事情是你创造的一切都能为人民服务,所以她努力种植优质的瓜,并于1973年开始获得回报)”可知,吴明珠院士培育高端的瓜是因为她想创造出一些能为人民服务的东西。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources , from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance (吴和她的团队开发了新的种质资源,从中培育了30多个适应性更好、抗病性更强的西瓜和香瓜品种)”可知,吴明珠院士和她的团队成员利用新的种质资源,培育出高质量的甜瓜。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段“She is one of the 8, 000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding. (她是过去60年来每年从全国各地来到海南的8000名农业科学家之一,通过淡季育种培育了两万多个中国新型种子品种)”可知,超过两万个种新型种子是由8000名农业科学家培育出来的,A项“She has cultivated more than 20 ,000 of China’s new seed varieties. (她培育了2万多个中国新种子品种)”表述错误。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.

Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物)gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.
As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?
8. The writer uses the three questions at the beginning of the passage to _________.
A. ask the readers to answer the questions
B. draw the readers’ attention to the topic
C. seek answers to the questions
D. show he is at a loss about the question.
9. Which of the following is not an example of animal’s dishonest behaviors?
A. A plover pretended to have a broken wing to protect its baby birds.
B. A scrub jay dug out its buried food and reburied it somewhere else.
C. The adoptive parents feed their baby birds of cuckoos.
D. A losing chimp starts fighting again after taking the winner’s hand.
10. The underlined word “sneaky” in paragraph 5 most probably means______.
A. selfish B. friendly
C. entertaining D. dishonest
11. What is the common reaction of most chimps when they find their favorite food?
A. They let out a loud cry
B. They cry in a very low voice
C. They hide their food immediately
D. They share their food with other chimps.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。文章通过举了一些鸟类和大猩猩的例子,说明动物有时会撒谎,这也是它们生存的需要。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior?(但是大自然母亲同意吗?动物不会说话,但它们会用其他方式撒谎吗?他们能用自己的身体和行为撒谎吗?)” 并结合下文内容可知,那么多的疑问句的提出是为了引起读者的兴趣,故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away.(相反,它们偷偷地进入其他鸟类的巢穴。然后他们下了蛋就飞走了。)”可知,把蛋下在别的鸟巢里才是欺骗手段,而喂鸟并不是,故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文的“But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.(但是一位动物专家曾经看到一只失败的黑猩猩牵着赢家的手重新开始战斗。)”可知,这种动物利用握手言和的机会暗算,是十分不诚实的,因此,sneaky意为“不诚实的”和dishonest同意。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out.(当黑猩猩找到它们喜欢的食物时,比如香蕉,它们会很自然地大声喊叫。)”可知,当它们找到自己喜欢的食物的时候,这种动物往往会发出欣喜的叫喊,故选A。
D
It’s easy for consumers to buy food and drinks like a bowl of hot rice and coke online or from neighbourhood shops, but for astronauts such things were impossible in the past.
Members of China’s Shenzhou manned space flight last year, however, were able to enjoy such food, thanks to Joyoung, a Chinese firm. Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a soybean milk maker were all accessible in the kitchen through a smart app. Tang Hongbo, who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, said in the news that during his three month trip, he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts, a contrast to the past when similar attempts required several hours. If we had time, we would also use equipment to eat homemade yogurt. We could also control the equipment in the space kitchen through mobile phone apps,” he said.
In the past, most foods couldn’t be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space. Conduction equipment often caused uneven (不均匀的) heating. An astronaut had to spend as long as four hours to heat some vegetables in the space kitchen. To solve the problem, Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavoured pork and Gongbao chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station. A vacuum (真空) cleaner enabled haircuts on the spacecraft possible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual reality manufacturer, has helped astronauts develop an experimental equipment through which laboratory technicians on the ground can see and experience what astronauts are doing in the space.
12. What do astronauts think of Joyoung’s mobile space kitchen?
A. Water-saving. B. Energy-wasting.
C. Time-saving. D. Money-wasting.
13. How does the author show the convenience on Shenzhou manned spacecraft?
A. By making contrasts. B. By analyzing results.
C. By providing pictures. D. By answering questions.
14. What does the last paragraph want to show?
A. There is more tech for the spacecraft.
B. Joyoung needs to further its technology.
C. Astronauts on board can do as they wish.
D. What astronauts are doing is significant.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Modern Technology Brings Convenience to Human Beings
B. Earth to Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technology
C. The Hot Diet on the Space Station Needs to be Addressed
D. Manufacturers Make Big Profits from Inventing Equipment
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国的企业将技术创新应用于空间站,为空间站的开发贡献了力量。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Tang Hongbo, who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, said in the news that during his three month trip, he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts, a contrast to the past when similar attempts required several hours.”(汤洪波是神舟载人飞船的一员,他在新闻中说,在三个月的旅程中,他只需半小时的努力就可以吃到热腾腾的食物,这与过去类似的尝试需要几个小时形成了鲜明对比。)可知,神舟载人飞船的成员说想要吃到热腾腾的食物,过去需要几个小时,但有了移动太空厨房,只需要半小时就可以吃到,由此可知,宇航员认为九阳的移动太空厨房是节省时间的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“In the past, most foods couldn’t be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space.”(在过去,大多数食物不能在太空中的微波炉中直接加热。)和“To solve the problem, Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavoured pork and Gongbao chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.”(为了解决这个问题,九阳开发了一种设备,可以360度释放热空气来加热蔬菜。这使宇航员能够吃到热气腾腾的鱼香肉丝和宫保鸡丁,宫保鸡丁是一种辛辣的中国炒菜。)可知,作者将过去和现在进行对比,在过去,大多数食物不能在太空中的微波炉中直接加热,但有了九阳开发的设备,宇航员能够吃到热气腾腾的饭菜,由此可知,作者通过对比来展示神舟载人飞船上的便利性。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合根据最后一段关键句“Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station.”(除了九阳,包括小米公司和华为技术公司在内的一批公司也为空间站的开发贡献了他们的技术。)可知,最后一段告诉我们,除了九阳,还有很多其他公司也为空间站的开发贡献了他们的技术,由此可知,最后一段想展示有更多的技术应用于航天器。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段关键句“Members of China’s Shenzhou manned space flight last year, however, were able to enjoy such food, thanks to Joyoung, a Chinese firm. Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts.”(然而,多亏了中国九阳公司,去年中国神舟载人航天飞行的成员能够享受到这样的食物,九阳为宇航员创建了一个移动式太空厨房。)和最后一段关键句“Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station.”(除了九阳,包括小米公司和华为技术公司在内的一批公司也为空间站的开发贡献了他们的技术。)可知,本文主要介绍了中国的企业将技术创新应用于空间站,为空间站的开发贡献了力量,增加了企业价值,“Earth to Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technology”意为“从地球到太空,企业通过创造技术增加价值”,选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。

Play the role of a teacher
A useful way to remember lessons is to explain them aloud to yourself. Once you learn a study material, try to explain it to yourself or your friends as your teachers explain it to you. This will help you to clear your confusion related to the lesson.____17____. This will not only help the details stick in your mind but help you to be well prepared for your exams.
____18____
Many students face a challenge like “Why can’t I remember what I’ve studied?”. ____19____. A tired brain is a barrier to learning. Exercise before studying helps to lift your mood. In fact, physical activity helps wake you up so you feel ready when you sit down with your books.
Absorb information in smaller chunks (块)
____20____ : You divide the 11 numbers into three smaller groups. It’s easier to get these three chunks to stick in your mind than it is to remember the whole thing as a single string of information. You can use this strategy when studying by breaking a list down into smaller parts. Work on memorizing each part as its own group.
Last but not the least, these tips on how to study effectively can only work if there is enough motivation and willpower to do well. You have to motivate yourself to reach the study goals.

B. You can call your parents for help
C. Start with your toughest assignments

【答案】范文
There is no shortcut to success
Observing how spiders weave their webs can provide us with valuable insights.
Spiders carefully construct their complicated webs in order to catch prey and ensure their survival. The weaving process requires considerable time and is marked by frequent failures. Nevertheless, spiders carry on, dedicating enormous effort, and then deliberately await prey.
Just as spiders, we should be aware that Rome was not built in a day, and neither are our dreams. It is persistent effort that guarantees to fulfil our dreams. By staying passionate and working towards our goals, we will possess the capacity to accomplish anything we set our sights on.

A Christmas Visit
As 17-year-old Torriell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February with her friends to pay a visit to the great park, she shared her dream of becoming a doctor. She had recently taken some first aid courses. The other girls shared stories of their experiences and adventures. But the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls in the car quickly gave way to screams, As they passed a road junction(交叉路口), a car crashed into the side of their vehicle, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a nearby home. It only stopped when it crashed into a tree. All of the girls were in panic.
As smoke rose from the car, a bystander(旁观者)shouted, “It’s about to blow up . Get out. ”The impact had bent the driver’s door, meaning it wouldn’t open. The bystander seized the door handle of the car, using all his strength to pull it open, but failed. Shaken, but otherwise OK. Norwood crawled out through the window. She had a cut on the right side of her face. Her lovely face became very pale. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Azarria Simmons, was not with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found Simmons lying in the back seat. “She isn’t moving,” Norwood shouted, with her heart beating hard. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. She checked per pulse. Nothing. She put her head against Simmons’s chest. No sign of life. That’s when she started CPR(心肺复苏术)

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】If the accident had happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wanted to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the ground and looking down at her dying friend,Norwood knew she had precious little time to practise what she had learned. She started pumping Simmons’s chest with her interlocked fingers and breathing into her friend’s mouth in the hope of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. The other two girls ran back and called 911.
After a while, the CPR worked and Simmons regained her consciousness. Simmons began coughing and gasping for air but she was still weak. Norwood breathed a sigh of relief knowing her friend out of danger. Soon the emergency car arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received the comprehensive medical examination.Then after she heard how her best friend had saved her life, Simmons said gratefully.“I am so blessed to have her by my side. Such as she is, always ready for helping others in any way she can. ”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Torriell Norwood和她的朋友开车穿过弗罗里达州的圣彼得堡,被另一辆车撞了,Norwood从车里逃了出来,尝试着救她的朋友。

In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet-melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of painful efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said Zhang Wenjun, a colleague of Wu’s.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers. And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8, 000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources, from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance, said Yi Hongping, former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Center.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number of honors. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.
4. Why did Wu Mingzhu mainly want to grow high-end melons?
A. Because she wanted to make China the largest producer of melons.
B. Because China is the largest consumer of melons in the world.
C. Because she wanted to create something that could serve people.
D. Because Chinese government asked her to grow high quality melons.
5. What can we learn about from Paragraph 4?
A. Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could resist every disease.
B. Wu and her team cultivated high quality melons from the new germ-plasm resources.
C. Wu and her team cultivated 30 watermelon varieties from radiation mutation breeding.
D. Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could adapt to any circumstance.
6. Which of the following about Wu Mingzhu is NOT true from the text?
A. She has cultivated more than 20, 000 of China’s new seed varieties.
B. She is committed to her work and makes remarkable achievements.
C. She helps make China the largest producer of fruit in the world in 2018.
D. She is awarded a number of honorary titles due to her contributions.
7. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A book review.
C. A school notice. D. A news report.

Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物)gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.
As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?

It’s easy for consumers to buy food and drinks like a bowl of hot rice and coke online or from neighbourhood shops, but for astronauts such things were impossible in the past.
Members of China’s Shenzhou manned space flight last year, however, were able to enjoy such food, thanks to Joyoung, a Chinese firm. Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts. A drinking water machine, an air heater and a soybean milk maker were all accessible in the kitchen through a smart app. Tang Hongbo, who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, said in the news that during his three month trip, he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts, a contrast to the past when similar attempts required several hours. If we had time, we would also use equipment to eat homemade yogurt. We could also control the equipment in the space kitchen through mobile phone apps,” he said.
In the past, most foods couldn’t be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space. Conduction equipment often caused uneven (不均匀的) heating. An astronaut had to spend as long as four hours to heat some vegetables in the space kitchen. To solve the problem, Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way. That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavoured pork and Gongbao chicken, a spicy, stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Joyoung, a group of companies, including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies, have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station. A vacuum (真空) cleaner enabled haircuts on the spacecraft possible. NOLO VR, a Chinese virtual reality manufacturer, has helped astronauts develop an experimental equipment through which laboratory technicians on the ground can see and experience what astronauts are doing in the space.
12. What do astronauts think of Joyoung’s mobile space kitchen?
A Water-saving. B. Energy-wasting.
C. Time-saving. D. Money-wasting.
13. How does the author show the convenience on Shenzhou manned spacecraft?
A. By making contrasts. B. By analyzing results.
C. By providing pictures. D. By answering questions.
14. What does the last paragraph want to show?
A. There is more tech for the spacecraft.
B. Joyoung needs to further its technology.
C. Astronauts on board can do as they wish.
D. What astronauts are doing is significant.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Modern Technology Brings Convenience to Human Beings
B. Earth to Space, Firms Add Value by Creating Technology
C. The Hot Diet on the Space Station Needs to be Addressed
D. Manufacturers Make Big Profits from Inventing Equipment

A Christmas Visit
As 17-year-old Torriell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February with her friends to pay a visit to the great park, she shared her dream of becoming a doctor. She had recently taken some first aid courses. The other girls shared stories of their experiences and adventures. But the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls in the car quickly gave way to screams, As they passed a road junction(交叉路口), a car crashed into the side of their vehicle, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a nearby home. It only stopped when it crashed into a tree. All of the girls were in panic.
As smoke rose from the car a bystander(旁观者)shouted, “It’s about to blow up . Get out. ”The impact had bent the driver’s door, meaning it wouldn’t open. The bystander seized the door handle of the car, using all his strength to pull it open, but failed. Shaken, but otherwise OK. Norwood crawled out through the window. She had a cut on the right side of her face. Her lovely face became very pale. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Azarria Simmons, was not with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found Simmons lying in the back seat. “She isn’t moving,” Norwood shouted, with her heart beating hard. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. She checked per pulse. Nothing. She put her head against Simmons’s chest. No sign of life. That’s when she started CPR(心肺复苏术)
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
If the accident had happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After a while, the CPR worked and Simmons regained her consciousness.
