Many people online said that she did a good job. It happened on August 8 at a hot pot restaurant. That day, Ms Wu was eating hot pot and drinking milk tea when she suddenly choked. She stood up, held her throat and could not breathe. Her friends and restaurant workers tried to help by hitting her on the back, but it didn’t work. At that moment, Hu Zihan, a primary school student at a nearby table, came to help. She told everyone she had first aid (急救) training. Hu quickly went behind Ms Wu, put her arms around the woman, and performed the Heimlich manoeuvre (海姆立克急救法). After five or six pushes, Ms Wu could breathe again. The helping process (过程) took only about half a minute. Hu Zihan explained later, “I learned this life-saving skill on August 1. I remembered the training: the first four minutes are the most important in an emergency. Everyone should learn first aid. It can really save lives.” Hu’s mother was proud of her daughter. Hu’s quick action and courage changed a dangerous situation. Her story encourages us to learn first aid so that we can lend a hand to those in need. ( ) 26.

Their bodies are about 29 cm long. They mainly live in the dry areas in Africa, with enemies everywhere. So how do meerkats stay alive in such a challenging environment? Well, they have developed many skills: They’re good at hunting (狩猎); they can see enemies from far away. But the most important is that they live and work together as a team. Meerkats live underground in groups. Everyone has a role to play. Usually, one meerkat watches for enemies, and the others are responsible for tasks like looking after the baby meerkats and looking for food. When danger comes, the guard meerkat will make a loud warning sound so that all the others can run and hide. Sometimes, if there is a direct fight, meerkats will work together to drive away the enemies. Meerkats demonstrate the importance of teamwork. It is the key to their safety and survival (生存) in the wild. They show us that together we are stronger. For humans, teams are groups of people with different skills. They work toward a common goal. When everyone in a team uses their own strengths, the team can achieve more. However, teamwork is not always perfect. It has problems. For example, it sometimes takes longer to make a decision, as there might be disagreements. That’s why a great leader is required. He or she can help make decisions and keep the team moving forward. ( ) 31. What is the most important reason for meerkats’ survival? A. Their cooperative behaviour. B. Their good eyesight. C. Their hunting skills. D. Their scary looks. ( ) 32. What does the underlined word “demonstrate” probably mean? A. Show. B. Realise. C. Sense. D. Explore. ( ) 33. Which of the following is a problem of teamwork described in the text? A. It is hard to find a great leader. B. Team members may not trust each other. C. Disagreements can slow down decision-making. D. Sometimes, members refuse to listen to others’ opinions. ( ) 34. What is the best title for the text? A. Small bodies, smart minds B. Small animals, big achievements C. Meerkats: a lesson in teamwork D. Meerkats: a special animal in Africa ( ) 35. What will the guard meerkat do when danger arrives? A. It will run away alone quickly. B. It will shout to warn other meerkats. C. It will fight against the enemies all by itself. D. It will look for food for the baby meerkats. 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) At an exhibition in a park in Ezhou, Hubei, a mecha robot (机甲机器人) caught many visitors’ eye. The robot was so special — it had a look that no other exhibits had. 36 But actually, every piece of the robot was made out of cardboard. 37 He likes building mecha robots. His mecha robots have more flexible joints (灵活的关节) and the joints allow them to stand in different ways. However, it is not easy to make such a mecha robot. It usually needs more than 300 pieces of paper and takes at least twenty hours of work. Some even take a whole week. Pi’s creations are now on show in the park. For him, this is more than an exhibition. 38 Pi lives with disabilities (残疾) and has difficulty communicating with others. But he never thought of giving up his hobby — he spent lots of time building mecha robots. However, for years, he built mecha robots only for himself. Now, with the park’s help, his creations reach more people. “ 39 Park workers often give me suggestions on how to make my work better. My skills were once unknown, but now they are popular,” Pi said. Pi’s handmade creations are now travelling to other countries. With more creations being sold, he plans to form a small team and build his own brand (品牌). He hopes that his creations will carry more and more Chinese culture one day.

Last term, I entered a poster design competition with my two classmates. Instead of planning as a team, we simply divided the tasks and worked separately: I drew pictures, one wrote the slogans and another collected information. A week later, when we tried to put our parts together, the result was a mess! The pictures, slogans and the background information didn’t match. It was then that we realised the real problem. We lacked communication. We were not working as a real team. Determined to fix it, we sat down, shared our ideas, and made a new plan together. As a result of our effective cooperation, we won third prize in the competition. This experience helped me understand the true power of teamwork. A team is not just a group of people working side by side, but different minds and strengths coming together as one. With good teamwork, we can create something truly remarkable. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
