A smaller number of people are killed after contact with power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a persons heart or breath to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?lIf you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, dont touch him or her!If the victim is holding the appliance (家用电器) that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!If you cant turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.The victim must remain lying down. If he or she is unconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.It is essential to maintain the victims body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation(恢复呼吸). Keep the victims head low until professional help arrives.If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.21.What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement. B. A horror story. C. A news report. D. First aid emergency advice.22.The underlined sentenceimplies that_.A. you should move the appliance.B. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands23.When a person has got an electric shock, you should_.A. separate the victim from the appliance and let them sit up.B. keep the victim warm and help him or her breathe again.C. move the victim onto his or her side if he or she has got neck injuries.D. keep the victims head high until professional help arrivesBWant to help fight global warming? Take off your tie, says the Italian health ministry. It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down. “Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade,” the ministry said in a statement. “Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.” It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week. The move echoes (回应) a similar action from Italys biggest oil group, ENI, which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work. The tie makers, however, were left hot under the collar. “Italy confirms that it is a strange country,” Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily Il Sole 24 ORE under the headline: “I, tie maker, am responsible for global warming.”“We can now happily continue with our lifestyle, using cars, consuming fuel, heating and cooling our homes at leisure. On one condition: we should not wear a tie while we do so,”he wrote.“I should have listened to my friends and bee an oil producer instead.”Italy is one of the European Unions worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed (超出) their greenhouse gas emission (排放) targets. 24. Whats the purpose of the move of taking off ties? A. To dress casually. B. To fight global warming. C. To keep the body temperature. D. To improve working conditions.25. Who first encouraged employees to take off ties? A. ENI. B. Flavio Cima. C. A financial daily. D. The Italian health ministry. 26. What does the underlined part “hot under the collar” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Angry. B. Speechless. C. Delighted. D. Puzzled. 27. Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima? A. He stands by the oil group. B. He agrees with the ministry. C. He admits his responsibility. D. He argues against taking off ties.CRegarded as one of the English languages most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didnt receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly. Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didnt attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his familys friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his fathers death in the early 1800s, followed by his mothers passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on. At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might bee a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didnt stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律). John Keats next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boys hope to overe the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to bine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821. 28. John Keats attitude towards life changed because of _. A. his early education from schoolB. the criticism of a magazineC. Edmund Spensers poetry D. the deaths of his parents 29. What is the mon thing between John Keats and his mother? A. They died of the same disease.B. They had a bad childhoodC. They read many books. D. They showed strong interest in poetry30. While pursuing his dream of being a poet at first, John Keats was _. A. knowledgeableB. experiencedC. determined D. impatient31. What do we know from the passage? A. Keats received little education at school.B. Keats once had a chance of being a doctor.C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.D. Endymion was about a real love story.D These days, it seems that almost all of us are too serious. My older daughter often says to me, “Daddy, youve got that serious look again.” Even those of us who are mitted to non-seriousness are probably too serious. People are frustrated and anxious about almost everythingbeing five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake - you name it, and we all lose perspective（理性判断）over it. The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectation. Very simply, we want things to be a certain way but theyre not a certain way. Life is simply as it is. Perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears bee our measure of life, and when circumstances dont fit our ideas, they bee our difficulties.” We spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to beand when theyre not, we fight and we suffer. The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problem. You have to want to change, to bee more easygoing. You have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creationits made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it. The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration level. Whenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isnt, youre upset and you suffer. On the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, youre free. A good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectation. Dont expect people to be friendly. When theyre not, you wont be surprised or bothered; if they are, youll be delighted. Dont expect your day to be problem-free. Instead, as problems e up, say to yourself, “Ah, another barrier to overe.” As you approach your day in this manner youll notice how elegant life can be. Rather than fighting against life, youll be dancing with it. Pretty soon, with practice, youll lighten up your entire life. And when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun. 32. Why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?A. Because their children are disappointing. B. Because they have to look serious in public. C. Because life is being a greater burden. D. Because people have lost sensible judgment. 33. According to Benjamin Franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?A. The fact that peoples perspective, hopes and fears are limited. B. The fact that people cant change life itself. C. The fact that things fail to meet peoples expectations. D. The fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult. 34. In what pattern is this article developed?A. Phenomenon, causes and solutions. B. Problems, explanation and conclusion. C. Examples, causes and arguments. D. Phenomenon, analysis and conclusion. 35. What might be the best title for the passage?A. People seem to be too serious B. Life is simply as it isC. Hopes can turn into difficulties D. A good exercise removes over-seriousness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。Preparing for Oral ExamsThe oral exam is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowledge, your presentation/speaking skills, as well as your ability to municate. 36 The exam can be formal, or informal, but you should consider all exams formal exchanges in order to make a good impression. 37 To do well on an oral exam requires a rather different set of skills than those called for on a written exam. 38 Here are some ideas on what you can do to prepare:Learn the requirements and criteria.
