Electric Shocks Can Be Fatal
Government statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.
What to do?
● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!
● If the victim is still holding the appliance 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!
● Ifyou can't 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 isunconscious, 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 ly necessary.
● It is essential to maintain the victim's 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 (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's 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.

Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.
But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.
Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.
Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.
4. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?
A. Negative.
B. Colorful.
C. Independent.
D. Selfish.
5. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?
A. Do business with the local people.
B. Help farmers increase potato output.
C. Assist villagers with construction work.
D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.
6. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?
A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.
B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.
C. To train them to become doctors in the future.
D. To make them learn about different cultures.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. From millionaire to mud hut
B. A life-changing adventure
C. A rich man becoming homeless
D. More money, more worries
C
Globally, people use roofs to dry out food, do their laundry and sleep. In Belfast, where we're based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time,many people didn't want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.
Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's “cool”.It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.
Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment,we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops alternatives.For example,Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones. Are there any challenges? Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact,the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.
8. What can we learn about rooftops in the first two paragraphs?
A. People enjoy getting together on rooftops.
B. People can use rooftops to their own advantage.
C. Rooftops are made good use of by locals in Belfast.
D. Rooftops projects were launched for commercial reasons.
9. How can rooftops benefit people in their life?
A. Rooftops can be adapted to car parks.
B. Rooftops help solve environmental problems.
C. Rooftops can provide space for work and play.
D. People can exchange their thoughts on rooftops.
10. What will be possibly mentioned after the last paragraph?
A. The new challenges of the future.
B. Reasons for building rooftop projects.
C. Exciting development of rooftop projects.
D. Solutions to the challenges we are facing now.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce rooftop projects in Belfast.
B. To encourage people to start rooftop projects.
C. To analyze the current situation of rooftop projects.
D. To offer suggestions on long-term city development.
D
Thefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces. The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.
Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces. In fact, their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents. Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months. But by nine months, they lose this skill. By nine months, a baby’s face-recognition skills are about the same as an adult’s.
Unfortunately, some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces. The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesn’t work for them. This condition is called face blindness. People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces. In fact, people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror. They don’t recognize their own face, so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.
Face blindness is not always severe. Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree, yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it. They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out. This is similar to people with color1 blindness. Colorblind people can’t see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green, until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.
There is no cure for face blindness. So for the time being, people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem. They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle, their voice, or their glasses. Hopefully, in the future as scientists learn more about this condition, they may find a cure.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The way to improve one’s face-recognition skills.
B. The simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces.
C. The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.
D. The importance of face recognition in human communication.
13. When do children have the best face-recognition skills?
A. At birth.
B. Half a year old.
C. Nine months old.
D. In adolescence.
14. What does the underlined word “startled” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A. Depressed.
B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed.
D. Surprised.
15. What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?
A. People need to take it seriously.
B. Certain techniques can make up for it.
C. It will be cured in the near future.
D. It has the same effect with color1 blindness.

51.(1). 考查名词单复数。

句意：当我完成了所有的考试，我的家人开车去乡下度假。

“exam”是可数名词。

根据“all of”可知，此处应用其复数形式。

故把exam改成exams。

(2).考查时态。

句意：在我们的路上，我最喜欢的围巾突然飞出窗外不见了。

本文讲的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。

故把is改成was。

(3).考查连词。

句意：我感到很难过，后悔没有把围巾保管好。

regretting后接宾语从句，句子成分完整，无需加when。

故删除I前的when。

(4).考查现在分词。

句意：我感到心烦意乱，找了条长凳正准备吃我的三明治，这时一个骑摩托车的人把车开进了车站。

此处作状语，“Feel upset”是祈使句，不能作状语。

主语“I”与“Feel”是主谓关系，用现在分词作状语。

故把Feel改成Feeling。

(5).考查动词不定式。

句意：我感到心烦意乱，找了条长凳正准备吃我的三明治，这时一个骑摩托车的人把车开进了车站。

“be about to”中to为不定式符号，后面动词要用原形。

故把ate改成eat。

(6).考查形容词。

句意：虽然我感到很惊讶，但还是很快地点了点头。

surprising表示“令人吃惊的”，surprised 表示“感到惊讶的”。

故把surprising改成surprised。

(7).考查冠词。

句意：那人从背包里拿出那条围巾，递给我。

这里的man指上文提到的骑摩托车的人，应用定冠词。

故把A改成The。

(8). 考查代词。

句意：他从自己的背包拿出了“我”的围巾。

由下文的“handed it to me”和“giving him a hug”故将my改为his。

(9).考查介词。

句意：然后他回到摩托车上，想要离开。

此处表示“回到摩托车旁”而不是“归还摩托车”。

故在returned后加to。

(10).考查副词。

句意：我走上前去，感激地给了他一个拥抱。

根据句意，这里应用副词修饰动词repaid，故把thankful改成thankfully。

52.略。
