Task 1
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
When you speak on the telephone, you cannot use your facial (面部的) expression, eye contact and gestures to help communicate your message. Your voice must do the job.
A good voice is pleasant to listen to because it communicates a positive message. Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice:
Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information.
Speak slowly enough so that the listener has a chance to understand your message without your having to repeat it. Keep in mind that as you speak the other person may be taking notes.
Pronunciation is the correct way to say a word. To avoid mispronouncing (读错音) words, you may wish to check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words in the dictionary before you use them.
People with an accent unlike yours may not understand your pronunciation of some words. You also may not understand the pronunciation of some of their words. In these cases, careful pronunciation is very important for effective communication. You may need to repeat or spell words that are unusual or easy to be misunderstood.

Task 2
Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.
The first aid (急救) you learn from a course is not quite like reality. Most of us feel afraid when dealing with "the real thing". By overcoming these feelings, we are better able to use the first aid to cope with the unexpected.
Doing your part
First aid is not an exact science, and is thus open to human error. No matter how hard you try, the casualty (伤者) may not respond as hoped. Some conditions might lead to death, even with the best medical care.
Giving care with confidence
The casualty needs to feel protected and in safe hands. You can create an air of confidence and safety by:
· being in control, both of yourself and the problem;
· acting calmly and reasonably;
· being gentle, but firm, with your hands, and speaking to the casualty kindly, but hopefully.
Building up trust
Talk to the casualty throughout your examination and treatment (治疗).
· Explain what you are going to do.
· Try to answer questions honestly to reduce fears as best as you can. If you do not know the answer, say so.
41. When we deal with the real cases of first aid, we often feel ______.
A. safe
B. afraid
C. excited
D. confident
42. "First aid is... open to human error" in the second paragraph means ______.
A. there are never failures in first aid
B. medical care in first aid is essential
C. human mistakes are possible in first aid
D. first aid is widely applied to accidents

A. in control
B. comfortable
C. in safe hands
D. gentle but firm
44. Which of the following can be a way to build up the casualty's trust?
A. To answer their questions honestly.
B. To use as much medicine as possible.
C. To avoid saying no to their questions.
D. To provide them with the best treatment.
