A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings. In cases like these, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it. Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. The Mayo Clinic health centres suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press on it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush (挤压) major arteries and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical help arrives. To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organisation like a Red Cross or a Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area. 1. Which of the following is NOT the cause of accidental poisonings? A. A harmful medicine. B. A cleaning liquid. C. Dangerous pesticide. D. Poisonous insects. 2. What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Coming out. B. Taking up. C. Going away. D. Getting down. 3. Where can you learn more about first aid? A. A hospital or Red Cross. B. A hospital or magazine. C A Red Cross or patient. D. A Red Crescent Society or book. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了医院急诊室中常见的意外中毒情况及其急救措施，包括如何处理中毒、窒息和严重出血等紧急情况，并建议读者通过医院或红十字会等组织学习更多急救知识。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. (一位惊恐的家长带着一个吞下清洁液的孩子赶来。或者有害物质是一种药物。或者它可能是一种用来杀死昆虫的产品。)”可知，清洁液、有害药物和危险的杀虫剂都可能导致意外中毒，而有毒昆虫并不是导致中毒的物质。故选D项。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词所在句“Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it. (保存从受害者口中expelled的任何东西。这样，医生就可以检查它。)”可知，为了医生能检查从受害者口中出来的东西，所以要保存好，由此可猜测，划线单词expelled意为“排出，吐出”，与“coming out(出来)”意思最接近。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organisation like a Red Cross or a Red Crescent Society for information. (要了解更多急救知识，请向医院或红十字会、红新月会等组织咨询。)”可知，可以从医院或红十字会、红新月会等组织了解更多关于急救的知识。故选A项。 B I will not go on about the causes of sunburn because you probably already know. If you get sunburn, you may be feeling a bit embarrassed about it. Once you have sunburn, the damage is done. So try the following ways to ease the discomfort. Cool it down by taking a bath or shower. Keep the water and room temperature warm, especially for children as they may easily feel cold. Some people like to add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the bath water. This may help reduce your pain. You could also place a wet and cool cloth on the burnt area for about 15 minutes. Do that several times a day. Apply moisture(润肤膏). You can choose some cream that makes your skin not that dry. Apply aloe, either the plant form or gel. Aloe contains active things that help reduce pain. Over the next few days, the skin may peel脱皮) This is the body’s way of eliminating the dead skin, so keep using such cream to help make your skin comfortable. Leave any blisters(水泡)complete. This helps speed healing and avoid infection as burst blisters can easily get infected. You can cover blisters to protect them if needed and definitely do not wear clothing that will cause friction(摩擦) as this can “pop” the blisters. Damaging the blisters can, and probably will cause more pain with rubbing on soft skin and also cause infection. Give pain relief if needed. The medicine aspirin is not recommended for children. At this point, the person may not be comfortable, so do not make it worse by applying something that can prevent healing and increase or lock in the heat under the skin, therefore causing more burn damage. See doctor if: * it covers a large part of the body or is severe in nature. * there is a high fever, chills, rash, nausea, and severe pain. * feeling faint or dizzy, rapid pulse or quick breathing. * extreme thirst, little or no urine output or sunken eyes. 4. Why do some people use baking soda after getting sunburn? A. To help prevent disease. B. To feel better in this way. C. To avoid getting cold. D. To reduce the burnt area. 5. What does the underlined word “eliminating ”in Paragraph 3 mean？ A. Protecting. B. Covering C. Improving D. Removing. 6. What does the author consider important after getting sunburn？ A. Avoiding breaking blisters. B. Going to see doctor immediately. C. Taking medicine to avoid infection. D. Preventing the skin from developing blisters. 7. What is the text mainly about？ A. Things to help treat sunburn B. The common causes of sunburn. C. Ways to deal with sunburn. D. Methods to deal with blisters properly. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述晒伤后怎样处理的一些方法来缓解不适或疼痛。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Some people like to add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the bath water. This may help reduce your pain. 有些人喜欢在洗澡水里加半杯小苏打。这可能有助于减轻你的疼痛。故选B。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文Over the next few days, the skin may peel.在接下来的几天里，皮肤可能会脱皮。由此可以推断下文This is the body’s way of eliminating the dead skin意思是这是一种去除死皮的方式，故猜测eliminating意为“去除，移除”，同removing同义，故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段Leave any blisters(水泡)complete. This helps speed healing and avoid infection as burst blisters can easily get infected. 留下所有的水泡。这有助于加速愈合和避免感染，因为破裂的水泡很容易感染。可知水泡破裂后会引起感染，后果比较严重，因此可推断作者认为晒伤后避免刺破水泡很重要，故选A。 7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段主题句Once you have sunburn, the damage is done. So try the following ways to ease the discomfort. 一旦你被晒伤，伤害就已经造成了。所以试试下面的方法来缓解不适吧。可知文章主要讲述晒伤后怎样处理的一些方法来缓解不适或疼痛。故选C。 【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。 1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。 2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。 3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。 4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。 5. 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。 6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。 7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。 例如小题2，根据上文Over the next few days, the skin may peel.在接下来的几天里，皮肤可能会脱皮。由此可以推断下文This is the body’s way of eliminating the dead skin意思是这是一种去除死皮的方式，故猜测eliminating意为“去除，移除”，同removing同义，故选D。所以小题2是根据上下文解释进行猜测的。 C Public libraries are an excellent resource for research, literacy (读写能力) education, and reading-centered events. Most towns have one or share library services with other towns through a mobile library, and the use of a public library is free to people who are willing to apply for a library card. There are several primary sources of library funding, starting with national funds which are distributed to states or provinces. These regions send the funds on to public libraries. Local governments also play an important role in providing funding for libraries, and most librarians apply for grants (拨款). Finally, private donations help to maintain libraries — most libraries have an association of Friends of the Library which organizes fund-raising sales and pays annual dues to help maintain the library. Grants and private donations can also be used to provide a large amount of funding for public libraries, and some large libraries maintain a separate staff member to increase the amount of funding that they can obtain through these sources. Grants include technology grants which allow libraries to install and upgrade computer systems, grants which focus on a particular topic such as science, fiction, children’s books, or local history, and education grants which support locally-based community efforts such as after-school reading programs. Many private donors are pleased to support their local public libraries by donating funds or including some library in their wills, and libraries reward their donors with treats like after-hours visits or privileged access to special collections. By combining multiple resources, creative librarians can keep their libraries useful, informative, and fun for browsers. When it comes to supporting public libraries, every little bit counts: if you cannot afford to donate to a local library, think about volunteering time to help shelve books, lead after-school programs, or organize fund-raisers. Being active with your public library is a very important way to contribute to your local community. 8. How many main sources of library funding are mentioned? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 9. How is the funding made use of according to the text? A. By exploring more about history. B. By developing a scientific computer system. C. By providing help for after-school activities. D. By enriching special collections for the donors. 10. What does the underlined word “browsers” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Viewers in the library. B. Programs used to view documents. C. People running the library. D. Donors visiting the library regularly. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Stressing the value of public libraries. B. Appealing for donation to local libraries. C. Introducing sources of public library funding. D. Showing the procedure of funding libraries. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了图书馆资金的几个主要来源。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“There are several primary sources of library funding, starting with national funds which are distributed to states or provinces. These regions send the funds on to public libraries. Local governments also play an important role in providing funding for libraries, and most librarians apply for grants (拨款). Finally, private donations help to maintain libraries — most libraries have an association of Friends of the Library which organizes fund-raising sales and pays annual dues to help maintain the library.(图书馆的资金有几个主要来源，首先是分配给州或省的国家基金。这些地区会把资金捐给公共图书馆。地方政府在为图书馆提供资金方面也发挥着重要作用，大多数图书馆员都申请拨款。最后，私人捐赠有助于维护图书馆——大多数图书馆都有一个“图书馆之友”协会，该协会组织筹款销售，并支付年费来帮助维护图书馆。)”可知，图书馆资金来源主要有三个：国家资金、当地政府的拨款及私人捐款。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Grants include technology grants which allow libraries to install and upgrade computer systems, grants which focus on a particular topic such as science, fiction, children’s books, or local history, and education grants which support locally-based community efforts such as after-school reading programs.(补助金包括允许图书馆安装和升级计算机系统的技术补助金，专注于特定主题的补助金，如科学、小说、儿童书籍或当地历史，以及支持当地社区努力的教育补助金，如课后阅读计划。)” 可知，有些资金用于为学生举办一些课外阅读活动。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线句“By combining multiple resources, creative librarians can keep their libraries useful, informative, and fun for browsers.”可知，通过组合多种资源，有创造力的图书馆馆长可以使他们的图书馆有用、信息丰富并且对于browsers来说有趣。可推知browsers应是去图书馆的人。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第二段“There are several primary sources of library funding, starting with national funds which are distributed to states or provinces. These regions send the funds on to public libraries. Local governments also play an important role in providing funding for libraries, and most librarians apply for grants (拨款). Finally, private donations help to maintain libraries — most libraries have an association of Friends of the Library which organizes fund-raising sales and pays annual dues to help maintain the library.(图书馆的资金有几个主要来源，首先是分配给州或省的国家基金。这些地区会把资金捐给公共图书馆。地方政府在为图书馆提供资金方面也发挥着重要作用，大多数图书馆员都申请拨款。最后，私人捐赠有助于维护图书馆——大多数图书馆都有一个“图书馆之友”协会，该协会组织筹款销售，并支付年费来帮助维护图书馆。)”可知，本文介绍了图书馆资金的几个主要来源，故选C。 D One way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a mistake to think that we’ d make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical (合逻辑的) thinking leads to sound decision-making. It’s true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information. Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship (for example, they fear to be abandoned) tend to be better at recognising people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present. In the real world though, it’s worth realising that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what’s more, it’s probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you’re a thinker, you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones. The important thing, if you are a worrywart (杞人忧天者), is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don’t bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears — do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness. When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn’t see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves (神经紧张) are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage. 12. What can we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety? A. It can enable us to be more focused. B. It can stop us from thinking logically C. It can make us more willing to take risks. D. It can be the only reason for all bad decisions. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. Anxious people are less sensitive to danger. B. Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars. C. Feeling anxious is more likely to put people at risk. D. Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign of intelligence. 14. How should we deal with anxiety in the author’s opinion? A. Regard it as our enemy. B. Take action to control it. C. Avoid being defeated by it. D. Treat it as a minor feeling. 15. What is the theme of the passage? A. Effective ways to prevent anxiety. B. Unexpected benefits of anxiety C. Tips on how to keep a good mood. D. Common misunderstandings about anxiety. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了焦虑的益处，指出焦虑并非全然有害，适度的焦虑能提高注意力、增强智力表现，并鼓励人们正确面对和处理焦虑，将其转化为优势。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information. (也有证据表明，焦虑会增加你对相关信息的注意力。)”可知，焦虑能让我们更专注。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the real world though, it’s worth realising that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what’s more, it’s probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. (然而在现实世界中，值得意识到的是，偶尔感到焦虑是极为常见的。它向他人表明你在乎，而且，这很可能是你聪明的一个标志。至少有两项已发表的研究表明，在焦虑测试中得分较高的人在智力测试中也往往表现得更好。)”可知，偶尔感到焦虑是聪明的一种表现。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The important thing, if you are a worrywart (杞人忧天者), is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don’t bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears — do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness. (如果你是一个杞人忧天者，重要的是不要让你的恐惧摧毁你的梦想。不要把头埋在沙子里。相反，要采取行动来应对你的恐惧 —— 做研究和准备，这样你就能做好充分的准备来迎接挑战，而不是盲目地走进你所恐惧的事物。)”以及第五段“When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn’t see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves (神经紧张) are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage. (当焦虑打败你，或者给你的生活蒙上阴影时，这是个严重的问题。没人否认这一点。但就像你在做演讲或面试前感受到的日常焦虑一样，你不必把它视为敌人。焦虑是一种重要的情绪，是通过进化形成的。对于天生就相当焦虑的人来说，也有值得欣慰的理由。你的神经紧张表明你警觉。倾听它们并据此行动。这样你就能把紧张转化为优势。)”可知，作者认为不应让焦虑摧毁自己，而应将其转化为优势，即避免被焦虑击败。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“One way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. (防止焦虑失控的一个方法是认识到它的好处。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了焦虑的益处，鼓励人们正确面对和处理焦虑。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选择中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Study Less and Learn More The first thing that you need to realize is that it does not matter how long you spend studying is flawed (有缺陷的).

However, too much studying just means you did not learn the information the first time 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何少花时间却能更多地掌握知识的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“Many people sit down and try to memorize facts over and over again. (许多人坐下来一遍又一遍地试图记住事实。)”说明许多人试图通过反复记忆来学习，下文“If you properly link ideas together to see the big picture, studying should only be a brief refresher. (如果你把想法正确地联系在一起，看到大局，学习应该只是一个简短的复习。)”则提出如果正确地将想法联系起来，学习应该只是简短的复习。G项“然而，学习太多只是意味着你第一次没有学会这些信息”承上启下，说明反复学习可能是因为第一次没有学会，与下文形成对比，引出正确的学习方法，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 下文“This is taking yourself beyond visualization and making use of your other senses as well.

He was hiking behind his ranch (牧场) in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US — Mexico border, when he found a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he would pick up something useless and throw it away. That’s when he noticed the balloon was connected to a piece of paper. “Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Turning the paper over, he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. “My Spanish isn’t very good, but I could see it was a Christmas,” he said. Heiss was attracted. He thought that maybe a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the kid who had sent this one. It would be difficult, but he believed he could work it out. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. “Based on the prevailing wind (盛行风), I was pretty sure that’s where it came from,” he said. Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is good at Spanish and helped him translate (翻译) the list. The elderly couple figured out that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and some art supplies. Heiss then posted on social media (社交媒体) along with some photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no useful information provided; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, he decided to send a message to Radio XENY, a radio station (广播台) based in Nogales. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Arriving at the Radio XENY offices with presents, the elderly couple finally met the excited little girl. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away. They told Heiss that they had received his message and were already looking into it. Within hours, they found Dayami’s family. The girl’s parents were overjoyed and grateful, explaining that Dayami had been hoping for those presents for weeks. They had been struggling financially and couldn’t afford to buy them for her. Heiss was relieved and excited to know that he had found the right girl. He quickly gathered the presents that Dayami had asked for and prepared to deliver them. Arriving at the Radio XENY offices with presents, the elderly couple finally met the excited little girl. Dayami’s face lit up with joy when she saw the doll, dollhouse, clothes, and art supplies. She hugged Heiss and his wife tightly, thanking them over and over again. Her parents were also deeply moved, expressing their gratitude to Heiss for making their daughter’s Christmas wish come true. Heiss felt a warm glow in his heart, knowing that he had made a difference in this little girl’s life. It was a Christmas he would never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“圣诞愿望气球”为线索，讲述Randy Heiss在牧场发现墨西哥女孩Dayami的许愿纸条后，通过广播台帮助其实现愿望的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令他惊讶的是，电台里有人马上给他回了电话。”可知，第一段可描写电台工作人员迅速回应，并找到了小女孩Dayami的家人，以及Heiss得知消息后的反应和准备礼物的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“这对老夫妇带着礼物来到Radio XENY办公室，终于见到了兴奋的小女孩。”可知，第二段可描写Heiss夫妇与Dayami及其家人的见面场景，Dayami收到礼物的喜悦，以及双方之间的感激和感动。 2.续写线索： 电台回应——找到Dayami家人——Heiss准备礼物——Heiss夫妇与Dayami见面——Dayami收到礼物——双方表达感激 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①寻找：look into/search for ②递送：deliver/hand over ③洋溢着喜悦：light up/brighten up ④拥抱：hug/embrace 情感类： ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②欣喜若狂：overjoyed/ecstatic ③感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings. In cases like these, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it. Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. The Mayo Clinic health centres suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press on it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush (挤压) major arteries and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical help arrives. To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organisation like a Red Cross or a Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area. 1. Which of the following is NOT the cause of accidental poisonings? A. A harmful medicine. B. A cleaning liquid. C. Dangerous pesticide. D. Poisonous insects. 2. What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Coming out. B. Taking up. C. Going away. D. Getting down. 3. Where can you learn more about first aid? A. A hospital or Red Cross. B. A hospital or magazine. C. A Red Cross or patient. D. A Red Crescent Society or book. B I will not go on about the causes of sunburn because you probably already know. If you get sunburn, you may be feeling a bit embarrassed about it. Once you have sunburn, the damage is done. So try the following ways to ease the discomfort. Cool it down by taking a bath or shower. Keep the water and room temperature warm, especially for children as they may easily feel cold. Some people like to add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the bath water. This may help reduce your pain. You could also place a wet and cool cloth on the burnt area for about 15 minutes. Do that several times a day. Apply moisture(润肤膏). You can choose some cream that makes your skin not that dry. Apply aloe, either the plant form or gel. Aloe contains active things that help reduce pain. Over the next few days, the skin may peel脱皮) This is the body’s way of eliminating the dead skin, so keep using such cream to help make your skin comfortable. Leave any blisters(水泡)complete. This helps speed healing and avoid infection as burst blisters can easily get infected. You can cover blisters to protect them if needed and definitely do not wear clothing that will cause friction(摩擦) as this can “pop” the blisters. Damaging the blisters can, and probably will cause more pain with rubbing on soft skin and also cause infection. Give pain relief if needed. The medicine aspirin is not recommended for children. At this point, the person may not be comfortable, so do not make it worse by applying something that can prevent healing and increase or lock in the heat under the skin, therefore causing more burn damage. See doctor if: * it covers a large part of the body or is severe in nature. * there is a high fever, chills, rash, nausea, and severe pain. * feeling faint or dizzy, rapid pulse or quick breathing. * extreme thirst, little or no urine output or sunken eyes. 4. Why do some people use baking soda after getting sunburn? A. To help prevent disease. B. To feel better in this way. C. To avoid getting cold. D. To reduce the burnt area. 5. What does the underlined word “eliminating ”in Paragraph 3 mean？ A. Protecting. B. Covering C. Improving D. Removing. 6. What does the author consider important after getting sunburn？ A. Avoiding breaking blisters. B. Going to see doctor immediately. C. Taking medicine to avoid infection. D. Preventing the skin from developing blisters. 7. What is the text mainly about？ A. Things to help treat sunburn B. The common causes of sunburn. C. Ways to deal with sunburn. D. Methods to deal with blisters properly. C Public libraries are an excellent resource for research, literacy (读写能力) education, and reading-centered events. Most towns have one or share library services with other towns through a mobile library, and the use of a public library is free to people who are willing to apply for a library card. There are several primary sources of library funding, starting with national funds which are distributed to states or provinces. These regions send the funds on to public libraries. Local governments also play an important role in providing funding for libraries, and most librarians apply for grants (拨款). Finally, private donations help to maintain libraries — most libraries have an association of Friends of the Library which organizes fund-raising sales and pays annual dues to help maintain the library. Grants and private donations can also be used to provide a large amount of funding for public libraries, and some large libraries maintain a separate staff member to increase the amount of funding that they can obtain through these sources. Grants include technology grants which allow libraries to install and upgrade computer systems, grants which focus on a particular topic such as science, fiction, children’s books, or local history, and education grants which support locally-based community efforts such as after-school reading programs. Many private donors are pleased to support their local public libraries by donating funds or including some library in their wills, and libraries reward their donors with treats like after-hours visits or privileged access to special collections. By combining multiple resources, creative librarians can keep their libraries useful, informative, and fun for browsers. When it comes to supporting public libraries, every little bit counts: if you cannot afford to donate to a local library, think about volunteering time to help shelve books, lead after-school programs, or organize fund-raisers. Being active with your public library is a very important way to contribute to your local community. 8. How many main sources of library funding are mentioned? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 9. How is the funding made use of according to the text? A. By exploring more about history. B By developing a scientific computer system. C. By providing help for after-school activities. D. By enriching special collections for the donors. 10. What does the underlined word “browsers” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Viewers in the library. B. Programs used to view documents. C. People running the library. D. Donors visiting the library regularly. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Stressing the value of public libraries. B. Appealing for donation to local libraries. C. Introducing sources of public library funding. D. Showing the procedure of funding libraries. D One way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a mistake to think that we’ d make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical (合逻辑的) thinking leads to sound decision-making. It’s true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information. Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship (for example they fear to be abandoned) tend to be better at recognising people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present. In the real world though, it’s worth realising that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what’s more, it’s probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you’re a thinker, you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones. The important thing, if you are a worrywart (杞人忧天者), is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don’t bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears — do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness. When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn’t see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves (神经紧张) are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage. 12. What can we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety? A. It can enable us to be more focused. B. It can stop us from thinking logically C. It can make us more willing to take risks. D. It can be the only reason for all bad decisions. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. Anxious people are less sensitive to danger. B. Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars. C. Feeling anxious is more likely to put people at risk. D. Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign of intelligence. 14. How should we deal with anxiety in the author’s opinion? A. Regard it as our enemy. B. Take action to control it. C.

He was hiking behind his ranch (牧场) in Patagonia Arizona, a town near the US — Mexico border, when he found a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he would pick up something useless and throw it away. That’s when he noticed the balloon was connected to a piece of paper. “Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Turning the paper over, he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. “My Spanish isn’t very good, but I could see it was a Christmas,” he said. Heiss was attracted. He thought that maybe a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the kid who had sent this one. It would be difficult, but he believed he could work it out. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. “Based on the prevailing wind (盛行风), I was pretty sure that’s where it came from,” he said. Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is good at Spanish and helped him translate (翻译) the list. The elderly couple figured out that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and some art supplies. Heiss then posted on social media (社交媒体) along with some photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no useful information provided; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, he decided to send a message to Radio XENY, a radio station (广播台) based in Nogales. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Arriving at the Radio XENY offices with presents, the elderly couple finally met the excited little girl. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
