First Aid: Essential Knowledge for Everyone
Introduction
First aid is the initial assistance given to someone who is injured or ill. It can make a huge difference in critical situations, potentially saving lives. In this article, we’ll explore some key aspects of first aid.
Recognizing Emergencies
The first step in first aid is being able to recognize an emergency. This could range from a minor cut or burn to a more serious heart attack or stroke. For example, if someone is choking, they will often clutch at their throat and be unable to speak. Signs of a heart attack include chest pain that may spread to the arm, neck, or jaw, shortness of breath, and sweating. By being aware of these signs, you can react promptly.
Basic First-Aid Skills
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a crucial first-aid skill. In cases of cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating, performing CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until professional help arrives. It involves alternating between mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. Chest compressions should be done at a rate of about 100—120 compressions per minute, and the depth of compressions for an adult should be at least 2 inches.
First-Aid Kits
Having a well-stocked first-aid kit at home, in the car, and at work is essential. A basic first-aid kit should include items like adhesive bandages in various sizes, antiseptic wipes, gauze pads, adhesive tape, scissors, tweezers, and pain relievers. It’s also a good idea to have a first-aid manual in the kit for reference.
Importance of First Aid Training
Taking a first-aid training course is highly recommended. It provides hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge that can’t be fully gained from reading alone. Trained individuals are more confident and better equipped to handle emergencies. Many community centers, hospitals, and online platforms offer first-aid training programs.
1. What is the first step in first aid?

Takanori Kobayashi, a 23-year-old from Japan, has had a strong connection with Peking Opera since his childhood. His fascination with Chinese history began in his early childhood, influenced by Japanese manga (漫画), especially works like Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These stories made him curious about Chinese culture and led him to search for related videos online.
At 14, Kobayashi came across a video of a historical Peking Opera, The Battle of Red Cliffs. Although he didn’t understand the language, he was captivated by the costumes, makeup, and music. At 17, he found a website for the Shincyo Theater, a Peking Opera troupe (巡演) in Tokyo founded by Zhang Chunxiang, a Beijing-born artist, who had moved to Japan in the 1980s and founded the Shincyo Theater to promote Peking Opera in Japan.
Kobayashi emailed the theater, sharing with Zhang his passion for Peking Opera, and his desire to join the troupe. Zhang was impressed by his passion. At 18, Kobayashi moved to Tokyo to attend Chuo University, majoring in Chinese language and culture, while attending Zhang’ s Peking Opera classes every Saturday.
Zhang teaches his students by explaining the movements of Peking Opera in simple Japanese. Kobayashi, who enjoys playing civil roles, listens to famous performances to learn the music and get a sense of the roles. He works with Zhang to improve his performance. Years of hard work paid off. In 2020, Kobayashi finally got the chance and debuted in a small painted-face role in Wild Boar Forest, one of Shincyo Theater’s productions, which got well-received.
After graduation, Kobayashi worked for a company in cosmetics, but he still studies Peking Opera in his free time and occasionally performs with Shincyo Theater. “Becoming a professional Peking Opera performer in Japan is difficult and might not be practical as a long-term career. In China, performers usually start training at four or five, whereas I began close to 20. Even so, I’d still like to pursue it professionally and give it my best shot,” said Kobayashi.
4. What sparked Kobayashi’s initial interest in Chinese history and culture?
A. School lessons related to China. B. A visit to the Shincyo Theater.
C. Chinese tales told in Japanese comic. D. A video of a historical Peking Opera.
5. Which of the following words can best describe Kobayashi?
A. Optimistic and considerate. B. Persistent and diligent.
C. Energetic and determined. D. Creative and passionate.
6. What does the underlined word “debuted” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Played a leading role. B. Painted a facial makeup.
C. Performed for the first time. D. Conquered the stage fright.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. He has to quit owing to starting late.
B. He will keep informed and practise occasionally.
C. He is willing to give it a shot despite the difficulties.
D. He tries to be a professional Peking Opera performer.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述日本青年小林崇德Takanori Kobayashi崇德热爱京剧,克服困难坚持学习并追求专业表演的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“His fascination with Chinese history began in his early childhood, influenced by Japanese manga (漫画), especially works like Romance of the Three Kingdoms. (他对中国历史迷恋始于童年,受到日本漫画的影响,尤其是《三国演义》等作品。)”可知,用日本漫画讲述的中国故事激发了小林最初对中国历史和文化的兴趣。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“At 18, Kobayashi moved to Tokyo to attend Chuo University, majoring in Chinese language and culture, while attending Zhang’ s Peking Opera classes every Saturday. (18岁时,小林搬到东京中央大学就读,主修中国语言和文化,同时每周六参加张的京剧课。)”和第四段中“Years of hard work paid off.(多年的辛勤工作得到了回报)”可知,小林自18岁时开始主修中国语言和文化,并每周六参加张的京剧课,并坚持了很多年,这体现了他坚持不懈,勤奋的性格特指。故选B。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Kobayashi finally got the chance (小林终于得到了机会)”及“in a small painted-face role in Wild Boar Forest, one of Shincyo Theater’s productions, which got well-received. (在新桥剧团的作品《野猪森林》中扮演了一个画着脸的小角色,受到了好评。)”可知,小林终于得到机会,扮演了其中一个角色,由此推断,划线单词的含义是“第一次演出,首演”。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In China, performers usually start training at four or five, whereas I began close to 20. Even so, I’d still like to pursue it professionally and give it my best shot,” said Kobayashi. (在中国,演员通常在四五岁开始训练,而我是在20岁左右开始训练的。即便如此,我仍然想以职业的方式追求它,尽我最大的努力。)”可知,虽然小林开始学京剧的时间较晚,但尽管困难重重,他仍然愿意再次尝试。故选C。
C
There is a tendency among how-to enthusiasts to talk about creativity as if it had fixed objectives: things you know from the start will turn out to be novels or pieces of music. Writers and musicians who have suffered the uncertainties of creation believe that this is an unlikely thing. If they have to talk about it, they just cite “artistic vision” and leave it at that.
Some writers claim that they can identify a model and knock out a thriller. Positions are adopted: “story” is three acts and a cast of characters. Well, maybe so, but novels aren’t cookie moulds (模具). And Mozart didn’t write his music in something called “sonata form”. These terms come later, after the job is done.
Scientists call this need to follow a model the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists to favour known methods in problem-solving at the expense of alternatives. If you have ever tried a key in a lock and discovered that, though there are other keys to be tried, you prefer to keep jiggling (摆弄) the one that doesn’t fit, then you have shown this tendency.
The set effect is also a good way of describing what can happen when an artistic approach stops producing results. A few years ago, when I finished Murmur, a novel about Turing, I knew I wouldn’t be working that way again. Nevertheless, I still tried a second fiction and, undoubtedly, failed.
When Mozart spoke of understanding his musical compositions visually, he wasn’t being poetic. He was literally describing his “artistic vision”. It’s just like when a bee flies sideways, the location of a flower is revealed as much by that motion as by the flower itself. Perhaps artistic vision is a part of physical seeing, in which our expectations for a work are not as important as the work’s rising shape; where looking sideways matters more than locked-on focus. Creative projects and artistic vision are a part of our animal response to the world, dynamic and not fixed.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By presenting different opinions.
C. By illustrating a particular phenomenon.
D. By demonstrating similarities among artists.
9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?
A. Writing is unlike cooking.
B. Creating never follows a set pattern.
C. Writers should learn from Mozart.
D. Writers should abandon writing moulds.
10. What do we know about the set effect?
A. It is a need to solve problems with fixed patterns.
B. It is the best way to solve problem.
C. It explains people’s tendency to make choices.
D. It results in people’s improper behaviours.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Bees’ movement models after humans’.
B. Creation process is dynamic.
C. Mozart composed music visually.
D. Illustrations of artistic vision.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了创作过程中的不确定性和艺术的多样性。文章指出,艺术没有明确的规则和结构,强调艺术视野和创作过程是动态的,而非固定不变的。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“There is a tendency among how-to enthusiasts to talk about creativity as if it had fixed objectives: things you know from the start will turn out to be novels or pieces of music. Writers and musicians who have suffered the uncertainties of creation believe that this is an unlikely thing.(在如何操作的爱好者中,有一种倾向是将创造力视为有固定目标的东西:你从一开始就知道的事情最终会变成小说或音乐作品。那些经历过创作不确定性的作家和音乐家认为这是不太可能的事情)”可知,作者通过呈现两种不同的观点来引入文章主题,即一种观点认为创作有固定目标,另一种观点认为创作具有不确定性。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Some writers claim that they can identify a model and knock out a thriller. Positions are adopted: ‘story’ is three acts and a cast of characters. Well, maybe so, but ... (一些作家声称他们能够识别出一个模式并快速创作出一部惊悚小说。他们采取这样的立场:“故事”由三幕和一组角色构成。好吧,也许是这样,但是……)”可知,一些作家声称他们可以根据一个模式写出一部惊悚小说,认为故事包括三幕和一组角色,然后作者用“but”转折,指出小说不是饼干模具,由此可推断出作者想表达的是创作不是按照固定模式进行的,即创作从不遵循固定的模式。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Scientists call this need to follow a model the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists to favour known methods in problem-solving at the expense of alternatives.(科学家将这种遵循模式的需要称为固定效应。它发现,在解决问题时,人们普遍存在一种倾向,即倾向于使用已知的方法,而牺牲其他替代方法)”可知,固定效应是人们倾向于用固定模式或已知方法解决问题的需要。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段第一句提到“When Mozart spoke of understanding his musical compositions visually, he wasn’t being poetic. He was literally describing his ‘artistic vision’. (当莫扎特谈到他用视觉理解他的音乐作品时,他并不是在诗意地表达。他实际上是在描述他的‘艺术视野’)”;接下来的内容都是对“artistic vision”的解释和阐述,比如“Perhaps artistic vision is a part of physical seeing, in which our expectations for a work are not as important as the work’s rising shape; where looking sideways matters more than locked-on focus.(也许艺术视野是物理视觉的一部分,在其中我们对作品的期望并不像作品的上升形态那么重要;在那里,从侧面看比锁定焦点更重要)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是对“艺术视野”的阐释。故选D。
D
When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true?
Nathaniel Hoyle, a scientist of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, has been leading a study into this topic. The team discovered that fibroblast cells (成纤维细胞) in the body switch off at night. These cells help close up a wound after the skin is broken and lay a foundation for new skin to grow. Why exactly are these cells less active at night?
It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night.
To test its theory, the Cambridge-based team examined data from the International Burn Injury Database, which records details of burn victims around the world. This analysis revealed that nighttime burns, on average, took 11 more days to heal than burns during the day.
A similar result occurred while experimenting using live mice. Those that were cut during night-time hours recovered more slowly than those during the day. “You can see by eyes, when the cell is wounded only 8 hours apart from each other, in different circadian periods, the daytime wounded ones take off, and the nighttime ones drag,” research team member John O’ Neill told Science Alert.
He added, “The time-varying response may be an evolutionary adaptation. As people are more likely to sustain injuries when awake than when sleeping, perhaps our bodies are prepared to respond more quickly in the daytime.” He went on to say that it could be beneficial to schedule surgeries in time with people’s circadian rhythms, earlier for early birds and later for night owls, in order to lessen recovery time. However, in any case, it might be best not to use anything sharp once the sun goes down.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To explain how we recharge our bodies.
B. To arouse the interest of the readers in the topic.
C. To prove that everyone suffers stress and injuries.
D. To introduce a new discovery for dealing with stress.
13. What do the researchers find during their research?
A. Burns take the same time to heal regardless of their cut time.
B. Fibroblast cells boost the healing by working nighttime shift.
C. Mice respond differently in the healing process from humans.
D. A body’s circadian rhythm matters in waking up fibroblast cells.
14. What can we learn according to John O’ Neill?
A. People tend to bear pain more when they are asleep.
B. Sharp knives are not suggested in the middle of the day.
C. Night owls operated on in the nighttime may recover sooner.
D. Evolution adaptation causes people’s time-varying responses.
15. What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A. Why We Heal Injuries Better in the Daytime
B. A Research Offers Clues to Treating Injuries
C. How We Heal Wounds and Injuries Effectively
D. Scientists Unlock the Secret to Avoiding Injuries
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为何白天伤口愈合更快。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true? (当我们感到疲惫或受伤时,我们往往会早睡以恢复精力、修复身体。这是因为我们常常认为夜晚是应对压力或处理伤口的黄金时间。但这是真的吗?)”可知,第一段通过提出问题,引发读者对于“夜晚是否是应对压力或受伤的黄金时间”这一话题的兴趣,从而引出下文的研究内容。所以第一段的目的是激发读者对这个话题的兴趣。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night. (这与我们身体的昼夜节律有关——一个24小时的内部时钟,帮助我们的细胞按时完成工作。《新科学家》杂志报道,一组控制成纤维细胞的30个基因只在白天工作,导致夜间伤口愈合过程较慢)”可知,研究人员在他们的研究中发现身体的昼夜节律对唤醒成纤维细胞很重要。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段“He added, “The time-varying response may be an evolutionary adaptation. As people are more likely to sustain injuries when awake than when sleeping, perhaps our bodies are prepared to respond more quickly in the daytime.” (他补充说:“这种随时间变化的反应可能是一种进化适应。因为人们在清醒时比睡觉时更容易受伤,也许我们的身体已经做好了在白天更快做出反应的准备。”)”可知,根据John O’ Neill的话,我们可以了解到进化适应导致人们的时变反应。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true? (当我们感到疲惫或受伤时,我们往往会早睡以恢复精力、修复身体。这是因为我们常常认为夜晚是应对压力或处理伤口的黄金时间。但这是真的吗?)”以及第三段“It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night. (这与我们身体的昼夜节律有关——一个24小时的内部时钟,帮助我们的细胞按时完成工作。《新科学家》杂志报道,一组控制成纤维细胞的30个基因只在白天工作,导致夜间伤口愈合过程较慢)”可知,本文主要介绍了一项研究发现我们白天的伤口愈合得更好,这与身体的昼夜节律有关。所以A项“Why We Heal Injuries Better in the Daytime (为什么我们白天伤口愈合得更好)”适合作为本文标题。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had always thought of my neighborhood as a peaceful and friendly place. However, all that changed when Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him.
As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive.
One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly neighborhood ties are gone.
One day, as I was mowing the lawn(修剪草坪)in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy box along his driveway.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
It seemed that he was about to drop it. I hesitated for a moment, recalling all the unpleasant experiences I had with him. A part of me felt that he deserved to struggle after how rudely he had treated me. But as I watched him wobble under the weight of the box, his face tense with effort, another part of me felt guilty for just standing there. I had always believed in kindness, yet here I was, debating whether to help a neighbor in need. Taking a deep breath, I set aside my pride and walked over. “Let me help you.” I said, reaching for the box. He looked at me, surprised, but after a brief pause, he nodded silently, and together we carried it inside.
As we were standing in his living room, Mr. Thompson broke the ice. He let out a sigh and, in a softer tone than I had ever heard from him, admitted that he hadn’t meant to be rude before. Recovering from surgery had left him frustrated and short-tempered, and he realized now how inconsiderate he had been. Hearing this, my frustration melted away. I admitted that I had judged him too quickly. As we talked, the tension between us faded, replaced by a quiet understanding. From that day on, our relationship changed—we weren’t just neighbors anymore but two people willing to give each other a second chance.

First Aid: Essential Knowledge for Everyone
Introduction
First aid is the initial assistance given to someone who is injured or ill. It can make a huge difference in critical situations, potentially saving lives. In this article, we’ll explore some key aspects of first aid.
Recognizing Emergencies
The first step in first aid is being able to recognize an emergency. This could range from a minor cut or burn to a more serious heart attack or stroke. For example, if someone is choking, they will often clutch at their throat and be unable to speak. Signs of a heart attack include chest pain that may spread to the arm, neck, or jaw, shortness of breath, and sweating. By being aware of these signs, you can react promptly.
Basic First-Aid Skills
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a crucial first-aid skill. In cases of cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating, performing CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until professional help arrives. It involves alternating between mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. Chest compressions should be done at a rate of about 100—120 compressions per minute, and the depth of compressions for an adult should be at least 2 inches.
First-Aid Kits
Having a well-stocked first-aid kit at home, in the car, and at work is essential. A basic first-aid kit should include items like adhesive bandages in various sizes, antiseptic wipes, gauze pads, adhesive tape, scissors, tweezers, and pain relievers. It’s also a good idea to have a first-aid manual in the kit for reference.
Importance of First Aid Training
Taking a first-aid training course is highly recommended. It provides hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge that can’t be fully gained from reading alone. Trained individuals are more confident and better equipped to handle emergencies. Many community centers, hospitals, and online platforms offer first-aid training programs.
1 What is the first step in first aid?
A. Calling for professional help.
B. Performing CPR.
C. Recognizing an emergency.
D. Using a first-aid kit.
2. In which situation should CPR be performed?
A. When someone has a minor cut.
B. When someone is choking.
C. When someone has a headache.
D. When someone’s heart stops beating.
3. Why is first-aid training important?
A. It’s free of charge.
B. It’s easy to pass the exam.
C. It provides hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge.
D. It can be completed online quickly.

Takanori Kobayashi, a 23-year-old from Japan, has had a strong connection with Peking Opera since his childhood. His fascination with Chinese history began in his early childhood, influenced by Japanese manga (漫画), especially works like Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These stories made him curious about Chinese culture and led him to search for related videos online.
At 14, Kobayashi came across a video of a historical Peking Opera, The Battle of Red Cliffs. Although he didn’t understand the language, he was captivated by the costumes, makeup, and music. At 17, he found a website for the Shincyo Theater, a Peking Opera troupe (巡演) in Tokyo founded by Zhang Chunxiang, a Beijing-born artist, who had moved to Japan in the 1980s and founded the Shincyo Theater to promote Peking Opera in Japan.
Kobayashi emailed the theater, sharing with Zhang his passion for Peking Opera, and his desire to join the troupe. Zhang was impressed by his passion. At 18, Kobayashi moved to Tokyo to attend Chuo University, majoring in Chinese language and culture, while attending Zhang’ s Peking Opera classes every Saturday.
Zhang teaches his students by explaining the movements of Peking Opera in simple Japanese. Kobayashi, who enjoys playing civil roles, listens to famous performances to learn the music and get a sense of the roles. He works with Zhang to improve his performance. Years of hard work paid off. In 2020, Kobayashi finally got the chance and debuted in a small painted-face role in Wild Boar Forest, one of Shincyo Theater’s productions, which got well-received.
After graduation, Kobayashi worked for a company in cosmetics, but he still studies Peking Opera in his free time and occasionally performs with Shincyo Theater. “Becoming a professional Peking Opera performer in Japan is difficult and might not be practical as a long-term career. In China, performers usually start training at four or five, whereas I began close to 20. Even so, I’d still like to pursue it professionally and give it my best shot,” said Kobayashi.
4. What sparked Kobayashi’s initial interest in Chinese history and culture?
A. School lessons related to China. B. A visit to the Shincyo Theater.
C. Chinese tales told in Japanese comic. D. A video of a historical Peking Opera.
5. Which of the following words can best describe Kobayashi?
A. Optimistic and considerate. B. Persistent and diligent.
C. Energetic and determined. D. Creative and passionate.
6. What does the underlined word “debuted” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A Played a leading role. B. Painted a facial makeup.
C. Performed for the first time. D. Conquered the stage fright.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. He has to quit owing to starting late.
B. He will keep informed and practise occasionally.
C. He is willing to give it a shot despite the difficulties.
D. He tries to be a professional Peking Opera performer.
C
There is a tendency among how-to enthusiasts to talk about creativity as if it had fixed objectives: things you know from the start will turn out to be novels or pieces of music. Writers and musicians who have suffered the uncertainties of creation believe that this is an unlikely thing. If they have to talk about it, they just cite “artistic vision” and leave it at that.
Some writers claim that they can identify a model and knock out a thriller. Positions are adopted: “story” is three acts and a cast of characters. Well, maybe so, but novels aren’t cookie moulds (模具). And Mozart didn’t write his music in something called “sonata form”. These terms come later, after the job is done.
Scientists call this need to follow a model the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists to favour known methods in problem-solving at the expense of alternatives. If you have ever tried a key in a lock and discovered that, though there are other keys to be tried, you prefer to keep jiggling (摆弄) the one that doesn’t fit, then you have shown this tendency.
The set effect is also a good way of describing what can happen when an artistic approach stops producing results. A few years ago, when I finished Murmur, a novel about Turing, I knew I wouldn’t be working that way again. Nevertheless, I still tried a second fiction and, undoubtedly, failed.
When Mozart spoke of understanding his musical compositions visually, he wasn’t being poetic. He was literally describing his “artistic vision”. It’s just like when a bee flies sideways, the location of a flower is revealed as much by that motion as by the flower itself. Perhaps artistic vision is a part of physical seeing, in which our expectations for a work are not as important as the work’s rising shape; where looking sideways matters more than locked-on focus. Creative projects and artistic vision are a part of our animal response to the world, dynamic and not fixed.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By presenting different opinions.
C. By illustrating a particular phenomenon.
D. By demonstrating similarities among artists.
9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?
A. Writing is unlike cooking.
B. Creating never follows a set pattern.
C. Writers should learn from Mozart.
D. Writers should abandon writing moulds.
10 What do we know about the set effect?
A. It is a need to solve problems with fixed patterns.
B. It is the best way to solve problem.
C. It explains people’s tendency to make choices.
D. It results in people’s improper behaviours.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Bees’ movement models after humans’.
B. Creation process is dynamic.
C. Mozart composed music visually.
D. Illustrations of artistic vision.
D
When we’re tired or injured, we often go to bed earlier to recharge and mend our bodies. That’s because we often think that night is a golden time to deal with stress or injuries. But is it true?
Nathaniel Hoyle, a scientist of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, has been leading a study into this topic. The team discovered that fibroblast cells (成纤维细胞) in the body switch off at night. These cells help close up a wound after the skin is broken and lay a foundation for new skin to grow. Why exactly are these cells less active at night?
It’s all to do with your body’s circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock that helps your cells do their jobs on time. New Scientist reported that a group of 30 genes that control the fibroblasts worked only daytime shifts, causing the slower healing process at night.
To test its theory, the Cambridge-based team examined data from the International Burn Injury Database, which records details of burn victims around the world. This analysis revealed that nighttime burns, on average, took 11 more days to heal than burns during the day.
A similar result occurred while experimenting using live mice. Those that were cut during night-time hours recovered more slowly than those during the day. “You can see by eyes, when the cell is wounded only 8 hours apart from each other, in different circadian periods, the daytime wounded ones take off, and the nighttime ones drag,” research team member John O’ Neill told Science Alert.
He added, “The time-varying response may be an evolutionary adaptation. As people are more likely to sustain injuries when awake than when sleeping, perhaps our bodies are prepared to respond more quickly in the daytime.” He went on to say that it could be beneficial to schedule surgeries in time with people’s circadian rhythms, earlier for early birds and later for night owls, in order to lessen recovery time. However, in any case, it might be best not to use anything sharp once the sun goes down.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To explain how we recharge our bodies.
B. To arouse the interest of the readers in the topic.
C. To prove that everyone suffers stress and injuries.
D. To introduce a new discovery for dealing with stress.
13. What do the researchers find during their research?
A. Burns take the same time to heal regardless of their cut time.
B. Fibroblast cells boost the healing by working nighttime shift.
C. Mice respond differently in the healing process from humans.
D. A body’s circadian rhythm matters in waking up fibroblast cells.
14. What can we learn according to John O’ Neill?
A. People tend to bear pain more when they are asleep.
B. Sharp knives are not suggested in the middle of the day.
C. Night owls operated on in the nighttime may recover sooner.
D. Evolution adaptation causes people’s time-varying responses.
15. What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A. Why We Heal Injuries Better in the Daytime
B. A Research Offers Clues to Treating Injuries
C. How We Heal Wounds and Injuries Effectively
D. Scientists Unlock the Secret to Avoiding Injuries

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had always thought of my neighborhood as a peaceful and friendly place. However, all that changed when Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him.
As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive.
One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly neighborhood ties are gone.
One day, as I was mowing the lawn(修剪草坪)in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy box along his driveway.
