It is very dangerous because it happens fast and is hard to treat. Some bad habits make the heart work in a wrong way. Its beats can be very fast, which can lead to blood flow problems. People may feel bad and even die in a few minutes. In China, about 550,000 people die from it every year. Many of them are young. Bad living habits such as staying up late, eating much junk food and working too long are the main reasons. We can do many things to protect ourselves. First, we should have health checks every year. Second, we need good living habits. We should sleep early, exercise three times a week and eat less salty and sweet food. Third, if we have hypertension (高血压) or other illnesses, we must take medicine on time. Our body will give us warning signs before it gets very serious. We may have chest (胸口) pain, feel it hard to breathe, be too tired or feel dizzy (头晕的). When we have these problems, we must stop all activities at once, lie down slowly and call 120 for help right away. It’s important for us to learn about these signs. Many young people think they are healthy and don’t care about these small signs. But they are wrong. Sudden cardiac death is not far from us. We must care about our heart health, keep healthy habits and care for ourselves well 21. The writer believes that young people are at no risk of sudden cardiac death. 22. According to the passage, staying up late and eating junk food are the direct causes of sudden cardiac death. 23. The writer gives three pieces of advice about how to protect ourselves. 24. Chest pain and feeling hard to breathe belong to warning signs of sudden cardiac death. 25. The main purpose of this passage is to explain the medical treatments for sudden cardiac death. 第二节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A All over the world, there are many wonders that still amaze us today.

Sports & Festival B. Culture & Travel C. Science & Space D. Health & Education B An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law (儿媳妇), and four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands shook, his eyesight was poor, and he walked shakily. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and poor sight made eating difficult. Food fell off his spoon onto the floor, and when he tried to pick it up, the glass of milk spilled(洒) on the tablecloth. The son and his wife became irritated with the mess. So they set a small table in the corner. From then on, the grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner together. Since he broke a dish, his food had been served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes, the family would see a tear in the old man’s eye as he sat alone. Yet, all he ever received were sharp scoldings (斥责). His four-year-old grandson watched everything in silence. One evening before dinner, the father noticed his little boy playing with some pieces of wood on the floor. “What are you making?” he asked sweetly. “Oh, I’m making bowls for you and Mama to eat from when I grow up,” the boy answered and went back to work. His words touched the parents deeply. No word was spoken, but both knew what must be done. That evening, the husband took his father’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the rest of his days, the old man ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, the son and his wife no longer seemed to care about the spilled milk or the food on the floor. What parents do speaks louder than what they say—and a child is always listening with their eyes. 31. What does the underlined word “irritated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Moved. B. Worried. C. Angry. D. Surprised. 32. Why was a wooden bowl given to the old man? A. It was lighter to hold. B. It would not break easily. C. It was a gift from his grandson. D. It was the only bowl left in the house. 33. How did the old man feel when eating alone? A. He felt lonely and sad. B. He felt very comfortable. C. He didn’t care much about that. D. He was proud of being independent. 34. What’s the correct order of the following events? a. The old man dropped food and spilled milk. b. The old grandpa was invited back to the family table. c. The boy made wooden bowls for the couple. d. The old grandpa ate alone in a corner with a wooden bowl. A. a-b-c-d B. b-a-c-d C. a-d-c-b D. d-b-c-a 35. From the grandson’s action, we can infer that ________. A. home is where love is B. children’s words carry no harm C. children are a mirror of their parents D. an old man in the house is a treasure C Among the many amazing animals in the ocean, few are as strange and unusual as the octopus (章鱼). There are around 300 different kinds of octopuses, and they come in all sizes. The smallest is only about 2.5 centimeters long, but some can grow to more than five meters. There was even an octopus over nine meters long. The octopus has a very interesting body. All octopuses have eight arms. Their brain is not only in their head but also in their arms, which allows them to think about and do more than one thing at the same time. Octopuses can also fit into small spaces because they have no bones. And did you know they have three hearts? These hearts work with different parts of the body. Octopuses can also do many amazing things. Most of them can change their color and shape to look like plants or other sea animals, which helps them hide from danger. They can also produce ink and keep it inside a small bag in their body. When they let out the ink, it creates a dark cloud that makes it hard for other animals to see them. This helps the octopus escape quickly. What’s more, if an octopus loses an arm, it can grow a new one. Studying amazing animals like the octopus is important because we can learn a lot from them. They also remind us how wonderful nature is and why it is important to protect it. 36. What allows octopuses to do more than one thing at once? A. Their three hearts. B. Their boneless body. C. Their brain in both head and arms. D. Their ability to change color. 37. How does ink help an octopus run away from danger? A. It makes the octopus swim faster. B. It creates a dark cloud that stops their enemies from seeing them. C. It makes the octopus change shape. D. It kills the dangerous animals. 38. What can be inferred from the fact that octopuses have no bones? A. They can fit into small spaces. B. They are weak animals. C. They cannot move quickly. D. They live only in deep water. 39. Why is studying octopuses valuable? A. Because they are the largest sea animals. B. Because they help us understand nature and why to protect it. C. Because they are easy to find. D. Because they have no enemies. 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe the size of octopuses. B. To explain how octopuses hunt for food. C. To introduce the special features and abilities of octopuses. D. To compare octopuses with other sea animals. 第三节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项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。 Studies show that people now have more free time than ever before.
