Unit 5 First Aid-单元阅读与完形填空.配套练习 一、阅读理解。 A I've been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree. It's a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls（头骨） of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden. The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It's poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant species that I brought home in the hope that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to flourish（茁壮成长）. Native plants that naturally grow in the area do work. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators（传粉者） like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress. Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes. However, getting rid of this 50-foot tree standing with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It's also protected under the law, and rightfully so. Trees are important for the urban forest and all of those that inhabit it. Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can't imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I'd miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves. Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I'll never be pleased. I'm stuck with this tree, so I'll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat to wildlife and to be a reminder. 1.Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?( ) A.To protect the injured skull. B.To reduce the chance of a bee sting. C.To prevent herself from sunburn. D.To avoid being hurt by the nuts. 2.What is the black walnut's survival strategy?( ) A.It attracts beneficial pollinators. B.It lets out poison to drive away pests. C.It produces a chemical deadly to some plants. D.It competes for nutrition with similar species. 3.Why does the author have a love-hate relationship with the black walnut?( ) A.It offers a shelter but competes with all native plants. B.It takes up much space but helps new plants survive. C.It is home to numerous birds but has hard fruits. D.It gives off an attractive smell but makes barbecue impossible. 4.What does the author want to convey through the passage?( ) A.It's better to give than to take. B.Building a relationship is troublesome. C.Trees have their own ways to flourish. D.Acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way. B “Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally. Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can't, do. The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn't until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR. But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it. However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150,000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90. The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn't received it. 1.About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, ___. A.it started to be applied to humans B.it was popularized in some professions C.it became a necessary qualification for babysitters D.it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins 2.Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on?( ) A.The failed cases. B.Its real effects. C.Its important functions. D.The misunderstanding and its cause. 3.What did the 2010 study find about CPR?( ) A.The public was unwilling to accept it. B.It had much better effects on the elderly. C.The average rate of survival remained low. D.It had to be carried out on time by professionals. 4.What is the most serious harm suffered by CPR survivors?( ) A.Hurt backs. B.Broken bones. C.Injured lung. D.Damaged brain. 二、七选五。 In recent years, more and more people have begun to receive some first-aid training. 1.___ Ask any individual who has taken a first-aid training course if it is worth it and their answer will be “Yes!” Besides saving lives, it does more. It's true that having first-aid training helps save lives. 2.___ Giving appropriate first aid immediately can help to reduce a person's recovery time and make a difference to whether the patient has a temporary or long-term disability. It encourages healthy and safe living. One of the first things you will learn during your first-aid training is that you must look after yourself and ensure your own safety as a priority. It's not being selfish but practical. 3.___ It enables you to increase a patient's comfort. Not all accidents, injuries or illnesses require a trip to the hospital. 4.___ A child crying because of an injured leg or with a fever is in pain and is suffering. By knowing how to act, you'll help to reduce the child's discomfort. 5.___ In some situations if a patient doesn't receive basic first-aid care immediately, their situation will become worse—often rapidly. A trained person would know how to keep the situation from becoming bad to worse. By being able to provide basic care you can stabilize a patient until emergency medical services arrive. A. That's not all, though. B. It creates the confidence to care. C. Having some basic first-aid knowledge is important. D. It helps prevent the situation from becoming worse. E. But it doesn't mean they don't cause pain to the patient. F. In some countries first-aid training has become a requirement for employment. G. Keeping yourself safe means you are in a position to help others rather than needing help. 三、完形填空。 Every Saturday morning, Phoenix Young would take piano lessons with a family friend when he was a child. “At that time we would . .1. . around and take all morning just to have a lesson,” Phoenix . .2. .. “And I loved it.” But when Phoenix was 12, his teacher proposed that he need better . .3. ..

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart's content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, at noon one day a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to the hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness（知觉） and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don't worry. We'll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane's cheeks. After two months, we returned home from the hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane's turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、DCCD BDCD 二、CAGED 三、BDACD CDBBA BBCDC 四、falling；The；asleep；to see；accidentally；and；was fixing；threw；son's；how 五、One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of their class. “Really?” Jane exclaimed with excitement but immediately lowered her head. She murmured,“I'm afraid I'm not competent to do it.” Perceiving her hesitation and lack of confidence, Mary and I said some encouraging words and persuaded her to sign up for it. In the following month, Jane engaged herself wholeheartedly in practicing singing. Under Mary's guidance, she made rapid progress and her confidence was also building up. Finally the big day came when Jane would give her singing performance on the stage. When the host announced it was Jane's turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Nervous as she was, she tried to collect herself and stay focused. As she began to sing, the audience got enchanted with her charming voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous applause and cheers. No sooner had Jane been wheeled off the stage than she was surrounded by her excited classmates and teachers with bunches of flowers in hands. She was so moved that she uttered in a trembling voice, “Without your support and encouragement, I wouldn't have made it today.” With moist eyes, she threw her arms tightly around Mary and couldn't speak anything at that very moment. It was Jane's persistent efforts and strong faith that paved the way for realizing her dream. ( 1 ) 学科网（北京)股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
