AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number of people are killed after contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing 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?●If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch them!●If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g.a hair dryer), unplug it or turnoff the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!●If you 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 they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.●It is es sential to maintain the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover himor 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 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.1.What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D.First aid emergency advice.2.The underlined sentence, “Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!” implies that _____.A. you should move the appliance that caused itB. 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 hands3.When a person has got an electric shock, you should .A. separate the victim from the appliance and let them sit upB. keep the victim warm and help them breathe againC. move the victim onto their side if they have got neck injuriesD. keep the victim’s head high until professional help arrivesBIf you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(使翘起) his head back and press his chin (下巴) upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives. To bring a child back to life, keep your lips aroundhis mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey color, and you can feel no pulse (脉搏) , then pressing is the last chance of saving his life.With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib(肋骨). Check how effective you are seeing if his color improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives.4. This passage is mainly about ______ .A. how to save people out of the waterB. how to give first aid to people who are drowningC. how to do mouth-to-mouth breathingD. how to save a child from a river5. Once you get a drowning man out of the water, if he isn't breathing, you must first ________A. get him breathing againB. take him to the nearest hospital as soon as possibleC. find someone to help youD. call the First Aid Centre6. In the last paragraph, the underlined word "rescue" means _______A.breathB. helpC.doctorD. pulse7. If the drowning boy has no pulse, ________A. pressing his chin upwards is enough to get him breathingB. blowing air into his mouth is sure to save his lifeC. pressing his nostrils together with your fingers can workD. pressing is the last chance of saving his lifecRobotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another. It has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices which are capable of travelling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.However, unlike the plot of one film---which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream---this device couldn’t be inserted into blood vessels(管) because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetta Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, accidentally swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices every year. To start with, the researchers created anartificial oesophagus(食道) and stomach made out of silicone（硅胶）. It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine(肠), and contains a little magnet.This is folded up and encased in a 10mm x 27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body.In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually guide the robots. If not,that will require help with guidance from imaging systems ,which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.8.According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to___A.travel through a scientist’s bloodstreamB.photograph the body to convey to the doctorC.enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairsD.operate on a person outside the body completely9.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that_____A.The researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB.The robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnetC.Digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for childrenD.The actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice10.What may be experiment mean to the medical world?A.The surgeries will cost patients much moneyB.Patients will suffer less for some surgeriesC.Fewer children will swallow the button cellsD. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessel11.Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?A.An Experience on RobotB.Tiny Robot, Significant RoleC.The fantastic Robotic VoyageD.The exploration of Robot TechnologyDEuropeans have been using the wheelbarrow for about eight hundred years. But the Chinese invented it at least ten centuries before that. Ancient Chinese gave the wheelbarrow nice names －Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse. "In the time taken by a man (with a similar burden) to go six feet, the Wooden Ox could get twenty feet," wrote an admiring historian in AD 430. "It could carry the food supply (of one man) for a whole year, and yet after twenty miles the porter would not feel tired."A famous general called Chuke Liang developed wheelbarrows two hundred years before this historian was writing, to help carry supplies for his army. But, very recently, pictures have been discovered on ancient tombs, and bricks, of even earlier wheelbarrows. So perhaps they were invented in the first century AD.No one knows how people in Europe found out about the wheelbarrow －or, for that matter, about many other Chinese inventions. Perhaps the idea came overland across the steppes, with nomadic (游牧的) tribes. Or perhaps traders using the famous silk-route to the great city of Constantinople, on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean, talked about things seen in far-off China. Probably someone who heard the talk worked out his own version, because the wheelbarrow used in Europe is a different design from the Chinese. It has the wheel out in front, so that the load is supported both by the wheel and the man pushing it. The wheelbarrow in China has the wheel in the middle, right under the load, and the pusher only has to steer and balance it. At all events, some time in the twelfth or thirteenth century, workmen building the great castles and cathedrals of Europe had, to their great relief, a new simple device to helpthem. One man with a wheelbarrow could carry the same load as two men and much more easily and quickly. The wheel took the place of a man.12. The historian admired the wheelbarrow because it could move faster and ________.A.carry the food supply of one manB.carry the food supply for a whole yearC.carry a heavy load for twenty milesD.carry a much heavier load and save energy13. The Chinese invention of the wheelbarrow might have reached Europe with the help of any of the following except ________.A. nomadic tribesB. traders using the silk-routeC. MediterraneanD. ancient Greeks14. The European design of the wheelbarrow ________.A. has the wheel in the middle under the loadB. is similar to that of the ChineseC.needs less pushing forceD. is less scientific than the Chinese one15. The final paragraph discusses ________.A. the European wheelbarrowB. the difference between the European wheelbarrow and the ChinesewheelbarrowC.how the idea of the wheelbarrow came to EuropeD.the invention of thewheelbarrow第二部分英语知识运用完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
