Sonya Hall, 33, of Denny Avenue, Lancaster, had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her threeyearold daughter Tilly.Sonya, who also has a son Emmen, six, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Childrens Centre in Lancaster. Then she was faced with every parents worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tillys life.Sonya said, “Tilly was playing with her brother and they were fighting over a toy. Emmen won the fight. Tilly fell backwards and her head was hit. She was face down and shaking and at first I thought she was upset. But then I saw she was blue in the face and had stopped breathing. I reacted without thinking and immediately started using the first aid skills I had learned the day before which were so fresh in my mind. I began doing mouthtomouth and chest pressions (胸处按压). It probably took about a minute before Tilly started breathing again, but_to_me_it_felt_like_a_lifetime. ”After getting Tilly breathing again, Sonya called an ambulance and the doctors came. Since then, Tilly has been diagnosed (诊断) with Reflex Anoxic Seizure (反射缺氧发作). Sonya said, “The seizure can happen when theres any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practising first aid. ”The Empowering Parents First Aid course is run by Lancashire Adult Learning. Sonya said, “I am just so glad I did the course and learnt the first aid skills. I always feared I would not know what to do in a crisis situation, but luckily I had the knowledge and skills to deal with it. ”21What happened to Tilly?AShe was knocked down by her brother.BShe fell on the floor and hit her head.CShe was hit by a toy on the head and felt upset.DShe was hit by her brother and stopped breathing.22When Sonya found Tillys shaking, she thought her daughter must _.Abe cryingBbe very angryCpretend to be hurt Drecognize her failure23What can be inferred from the underlined words?ATillys illness would last all her life.BSonya was very nervous and scared.CIt was very difficult to give first aid.DIt was a long time before Tilly got breathing again.24What would be the best title for the text?AThe Importance of First AidBHow to Practise First AidCMum Saves Her Girl with First AidDMums Should Attend First Aid CoursesBHow do you know if your home is an easy aim for thieves (偷窃)? Around the holidays, many families dont consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thieves. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.Either have a trusted neighbour pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home！” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器). Dont leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone e into your house every day to take care of them. When thieves see a neighbour or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thieves, as no one can see what is in your house. If they dont know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.25What is the main idea of the passage?ATo tell us how to prevent the thieves around the holidays.BTo let the outdoor lights on all the time.CTo tell us many families suffering from the thieves while they are on holiday.DTo tell you to have your neighbour go to your house to take care of your pet.26If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should _.Abe lit in an irregular wayBbe kept on all the nightCbe replaced by random timersDbe turned on only once one day27To make sure your home is well protected, what does the writer advise you to do?AHave all the curtains closed.BStop your mail service at once.CTurn to your close neighbours or friends.DEquip your home with security system.28The underlined word “deter” probably means “_”Adiscover BdiscourageCsurprise DattractCIs there something that youve always wanted to try but just never had the time? Well, make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation. Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks. Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless. If you enjoy cooking, various panies can take you to Italy, France, Spain, Mexico or even Peru. Once there, you can learn to prepare the local cuisine (烹饪). Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind. The best way to learn a language is in an environment where its spoken. Study Spanish, French or English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish, Estonian or Thai. Youll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.If you are fond of sports, you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and tennis schools wele players of all levels. If you want a bigger thrill, you can learn to surf, go climbing or race cars. Its even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!You can also discover our inner artist. Many places offer painting classes in different mediums. The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.If you prefer capturing the world on film, take a photography vacation. Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery. You can also practise your technique on people or at historical sights.Once you decide on a vacation, choose a pany carefully. Request names of recent customers you can contact, and then ask them for an evaluation. The more you know before you go, the better prepared youll be. Then go out and learn something!29Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation?ABecause it is hard for you to make plans.BBecause the possibilities are unlimited.CBecause there are many good foods from abroad.DBecause therere too many food festivals or events.30The advantage of learning a language in its native country is that _.Athe environment is fit for you to use the languageByou are able to learn the original foreign languageCnative speakers offer you a lot of chances to practiseDyou can learn the language and experience its culture31Which of the following sports suits you if you dont like thrills?ACar racing. BPlaying tennis.CRock climbing. DSurfing.DYou might think Id have little in mon with a camel, but we do share one useful skill：both of us can go for a very long time without water. Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, and then I might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner, thats about a liter of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently its not nearly enough.After years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three liters of liquid a day for my body to function at its best. I decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I drank the remended amount every day for a month?The photograph of me taken the day I started this trial demonstrates(展示) perfectly and rather frighteningly what a lack of hydration does to a face. I am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which is shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, and my skin lacks any luster(光泽). It looks dead. Even my lips look shriveled(枯萎的). This is all classic evidence of poor hydration, apparently.Every system and function in our body depends on water. It flushes toxins from the vital organs, carries nutrients to cells, provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues, and eliminates waste.Not drinking enough means all these functions bees damaged. So I decided to see how I would look and feel if I drank three liters of water every day for 28 days. The results were astonishing.32Which statement is Not True according to Paragraph 1?AThe author drinks about a liter of liquid every day.BThe author has something in mon with a camel.CThe author thinks she drinks enough water every day.DThe author actually has plenty of water in her daily life.33Why did the author decide to drink the remended amount of water?ABecause she was very fond of doing experiments.BBecause she was informed of the importance of drinking enough water.CBecause her doctors forced her to do it.DBecause she wanted to be cured of her stomachache.34The authors lack of hydration caused the following physical responses Except _.Ashriveled lipsBenough luster of her skinCdark shadows around her eyesDwrinkles and blotches on her face35According to the passage, the author most probably tends to tell us _.Athe more water one drinks, the healthier he isBdrinking water makes ladies look youngerCdrinking enough water is key to ones health.Dits necessary to follow specialists instructions第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后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。Where would you most like to go on vacation?

I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents _53_ I realized their skin color. Im sorry to say that now when I see a mixedrace _54_ walking down the street, I see the “mixed race” first and the “couple” second.When my parents married in 1966, there were _55_ places in this country that had laws _56_ mixed marriage. _57_， my white grandfather, _58_ father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.Some of us are men, some are women.
