A
A mum saved her daughter’s life with her newly learnt first aid skills. Sonya had only just attended one first aid class the day before when she found herself needing to use the skills on her three-year-old daughter Tilly.
Sonya, who also has a son Emmen, attended the first aid course at Lune Park Children’s Centre. Then she was faced with every parent’s worst nightmare when Tilly went blue in the face and stopped breathing. But thanks to her newly acquired skills, Sonya saved Tilly’s 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 learnt the day before. I began doing mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions (胸外按压). 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 there’s any unexpected pain, fear or fright. It is just so lucky that the day before it happened, I had been practicing
first aid. 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.”

A. She fell on the floor and hit her head.
B. She was knocked down by her brother.
C. She was hit by a toy on the head and felt upset.
D. She was hit by her brother and stopped breathing.
2.When Sonya found Tilly’s shaking, she thought her daughter must ______.
A. be crying
B. be very angry
C. pretend to be hurt
D. recognize her failure
3. When Sonya goes to the first aid class next time, she will feel ______.
A. enjoyable
B. excited
C. grateful
D. confident
B
There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today - the wheel. This invention made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
In the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land in the world. People began to work to make life better.
In the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the cameras and the light bulbs. There were more great inventions in the early 20th century, such as the helicopters in 1907, movies with sound in 1910 and jet planes in the 1930s. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon （尼龙）came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
By this time most people have had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore more. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Since then other countries, including the United States and China, have made their steps into space.
In 1969, man took his biggest step. An American first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.
4. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. why cars were very important
B. when the light bulb was invented
C. which country made the first step into space
D. the process of inventions
5. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as _______.
A. the helicopter
B. the camera
C. jet planes
D. movies
6. _______ made the first step into space.
A. Russia
B. China
C. America
D. Japan
7. Which of the followings is NOT true?
A. An American first stepped on the moon.
B. The wheel was the first great invention, but it is not very important today.
C. In the early 1800s there was little unknown land.
D. New inventions will change our lives greatly in the future.
C
Living in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes”and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means“yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?”He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes”or “no”.
8. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.
A. should go abroad for vacations
B. needed to learn foreign languages
C. should often discuss their experiences
D. had problems with communications
9.People in Micronesia show “yes”by ______.
A. nodding heads
B. raising eyebrows
C. shaking heads
D. saying “no”
10.Tom misunderstood his class at first because______.
A. he did not know much about Indian culture
B. he didn’t explain everything clearly enough
C. some students didn’t understand his questions
D. he didn’t know where the students came from
11.The passage is mainly about______.
A. body language in foreign restaurants
B. class discussion in Indian schools
C. miscommunication in different cultures
D. English teaching in other countries
D
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering（登山）.
Those who have a passion（热情）for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused
probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their spare time.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with mere skills and less waste of effort, and they can certainly experience equal enjoyment.
12. Mountaineering involves____.
A. cold
B. hardship
C. physical risk
D. all of the above
13. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of _____.
A. activity
B. rules
C. uniform
D. participants
14. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because_____.
A. it is an Olympic event
B. teams compete against each other
C. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
D. there are 5 climbers on each team
15. Which of the following might be the best title?
A. How to Climb High Mountains
B. Mountain Climbers
C. Challenging Sports Activities
D. Mountaineering
