So a simple procedure such as opening someones airway can save their life while theyre waiting for emergency medical help. This means youre more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger. There are many misconceptions surrounding first aid. Below are the most popular ones with details of what you should do.Top four first aid misconceptions:You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a burn is cold waterkeep the butter for cooking. Put the affected area under cold running water for at least ten minutes.The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under a tap. If you put a bleeding wound under a tap, you wash away the body`s clotting agents（凝血剂）and make it bleed more. Instead, put pressure on the wound with whatever is available to stop or slow down the flow of blood. As soon as possible call 911. Keep pressure on the wound until help arrives. Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway. Instead, advise them to tilt（倾斜）their head forwards and ask them to pinch（捏）the end of their nose and breathe through their mouth. You need lots of training to do first aid. You dontwhat you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid knowledge in a few minutes to save someone`s lifewhether it`s from reading a book, attending a course or watching videos online.Remember that anyone can save a life.51．The most important point to save an airway blocked person’s life is to________.A．keep his airway open B．ensure the ambulance’s arriving timeC．keep the surroundings quiet D．ask for emergency medical help immediately52．If a person is burnt, what you should do immediately is________.A．put some cream on the burn area B．heat up some butter for the burnC．place the burn under cold running water D．wash the affected area for a long time53．If a bleeding wound is put under a tap, what will happen?A．It will help the bleeding stop at once. B．The wound will help produce more clotting agents.C．It will produce more pressure on the wound. D．The wound will bleed more and it is hard to stop the bleeding.54．Which of the following statements is RIGHT?A．When a person’s nose bleeds, please put the head back. B．You can learn first aid quickly in different ways.C．When a person is burnt, keep pressure on the burn until help arrives. D．Not everyone can do first aid to save a life.55．The passage mainly tells us________.A．how to learn first aid by yourself B．some misunderstandings about first aidC．the importance of first aid D．how to help the medical team save a lifeBPlastic bags are not costly to produce. They are also strong and easy to carry. This is why they are a popular container in most parts of the world. But they are also a major source of pollution. It can take hundreds of years for plastic bags to break down. As they do, tiny pieces can poison soil, lakes, rivers and oceans. Therefore, environmental experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags.Maryland artist Allita Irby does just that. It starts with the morning newspaper. What is more important is getting that plastic bag the paper comes in. The mixed media artist recognized its rich possibilities about three year ago. “As I was taking the newspaper out, I felt the texture of these bags. They were soft. I just looked down and realized it would take three to make a braid (辫子).” Since then, Irby has been using plastic bags to create abstract lines in her art works.Before incorporating plastic bags in her works, Irby used natural materials like feathers, leather and dried plants. All those elements represent her Native American ancestry (血统) and identity, like one of her works called “Navaho Bundles”.Ms. Irby’s neighbors praised her ability to turn waste into treasure. Some, like Charlotte Hogan, asked the artist to teach them how to create art using the used plastic bags. “I think it is fascinating, and it is wonderful. I do plan to share it with my seniors at my church. One of Irbys neighbors Aleta Meyer expressed her surprise, I have never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag. This is definitely different.Shirley Watts also lives in the neighborhood. She plans to show others her art. I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it up on my wall and then I know that I did it.Making art with found materials is not a new idea. Anyone can do it. Recycled paper, cloth and metal goods can become beautiful pictures and sculptures, Allita Irby said, I think we are all artists really, and there is beauty all around us. The artist also said that all you had to do was open your eyes and bring the outside in.56．What is mainly discussed in the first paragraph?A．The advantage of plastic bags.B．The disadvantage of plastic bags.C．How to reuse and recycle plastic bags.D．The importance of recycling plastic bags.57．The underlined part “does just that” in the second paragraph means “_______”.A．produces plastic bags B．makes use of used plastic bagsC．makes plastic bags break down D．urges people to reuse and recycle plastic bags58．What is Irby’s neighbors’ attitude towards her action?A．Supportive.B．NegativeC．Suspicious.D．Unknown.59．Who intends to share the skill of turning used plastic bags into art with old people?A．Aleta Meyer.B．Allita Irby. C．Charlotte HoganD．Shirley Watts60．According to Alllita Irby, the most important step in making art with found materials is _______.A．to come up with the ideaB．to seek beauty all around usC．to be open to new ideas and thingsD．to choose the most suitable objectsCWhat if you could use your clothes to browse the internet and send messages? A “digital cloth” created by researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai is making this a reality.Research on a new type of flexible textile (织物) with a display system that has multiple applications was published in the journal Nature on March 10.A user can read messages, reply and even navigate on his sleeve, as shown in a video produced by the team. The team claimed that the material is also comfortable to wear. Clothes woven with this new material can closely follow the irregular outline of the human body and are as light and breathable as ordinary textiles, ensuring comfort, said Peng Huisheng, leader of the team. The textile can also endure repeated folding and stretching. Its brightness and stability remained almost unchanged after having been washed in a washing machine 500 times,” said Peng.Behind the magical textile is ten years of hard work by Peng and his team. The research team created two functional fibers: a silver-plated thread that can light up, and a kind of thread that conducts electricity. According to The Paper, the biggest challenge lies in building programmable arrays (排列) of twinkling dots on the soft fibers with diameters（直径） ranging from tens to hundreds of microns. Inspired by the weaving process, Peng’s team found a solution by trial and error: the interweaving (交织) of the cross threads can naturally form a dot array similar to the array on a digital display screen.Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could help people with language barriers or disabilities better communicate. In one test, Peng’s team monitored brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or relaxing. The waves were then translated into messages as “anxious” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help hearing-impaired people “talk” to each other in the future.“We hope that new materials will shape next generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them,” Peng told AFP.61．What can we learn about the “the digital cloth”?A．It is an electronic device attached to sleeves. B．It aims to replace traditional communication tools.C．It’s characterized by flexibility and stability. D．It’s designed for people with physical disabilities.62．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The team’s efforts behind the new product. B．The process of making the fibers.C．Where the inspiration of the invention came from. D．The advantages of the new digital cloth.63．How could the textile benefit people?A．It could help improve users’ emotions.B．It could convey the wearer’s mood.C．It could talk to people.D．It could be used to treat hearing loss.64．What’s the main purpose of the article?A．To encourage the use of a new product. B．To predict the prospects of the new technology.C．To introduce a new way of communication. D．To inform readers of new research.65．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．A next generation electronic device has been developed.B．A “digital cloth” helps hearing-impaired people “talk” to each other.C．Shanghai researchers have developed a new type of textile with a display system.D．It has been a reality for people to use their clothes to browse the internet and send messages.DTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need f. consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.66．This article is mainly about _______.A．the lives of school childrenB．the cause of arguments in schoolsC．how to analyze youth violenceD．how to deal with school conflicts67．From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A．violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime B．a small conflict can lead to violenceC．students tend to lose their temper easily D．the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight68．Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A．To find out who to blame. B．To get ready to buy new things.C．To make clear what the real issue is.D．To figure out how to stop the shouting match.69．After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that ______.A．there was a decrease in classroom violence B．there was less student cooperation in the classroomC．more teachers fell better about themselves in schools D．the teacher-student relationship greatly improved70．The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to _______.A．complain about problems in school education B．teach students different strategies for school lifeC．advocate teaching conflict management in schools D．inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence第II 卷 （非选择题 共30 分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，共10 分）阅读下面文章，按照要求回答问题。My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what will come next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. As mothers, our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t retreat because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear---as mine was until my father’s letter---is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.71.
