上一题下一题

A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic (过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.
Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.
Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.
However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest instead.
Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions (按压) until the ambulance arrived.
Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said: "I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his
"She's a little star," said Debbie, "i was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert."
Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled, preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.
He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.
Izzy kicked her father in the chest ______ .

A．to express her helplessness	B．to practise CPR on him
C．to keep him awake	D．to restart his heart

What's the right order of the events?

①Izzy kicked Colm.
②Debbie called 999.
③Izzy learned CPR.
④Colm's heart stopped.

A. 3124 B. 4231 C. 3421 D. 4312
What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?

A．What Colm suffered.

B．Colm's present condition.

C．What caused Colm's allergy.

D．Symptoms of Colm's allergic reaction.

Why does the author write the news?

Ⅰ：阅读理解：（共8小题，每题1分，总分8分）
（A）
Chocolate might lower your chances of having a heart problem. According to a new study, a new study, a small amount of chocolate every day could decrease the risk of having a heart attack, by nearly 40 percent, German researchers followed nearly 20,000 people over eight years, sending them several questionnaires about their diet and exercise habits. They found people who had an an average of six grams of chocolate a day—or about one square of a chocolate bar—had a 39 percent lower risk of a heart attack.
Previous studies have suggested dark chocolate in small amounts could be good for you, but this is the first study to track its effects over such a long period. Experts think the flavonols（黄酮醇）contained in chocolate are responsible. Flavonols, also found in vegetables and red wine, help the muscles in blood vessels（血管）widen, which leads to a drop in blood pressure. “It’s a bit too early to come up with recommendations that people should eat more chocolate, but if people replace sugar or high-fat snacks with a little piece of dark chocolate, that might help,” said Brian Buijsse, a doctor at the German Institute of Human Nutrition in Nuthetal, Germany, the study’s lead author.
The people tracked by Buijsse and colleagues had no history of heart problems, had similar habits for risk factors like smoking and exercise, and did not vary widely in their Body Mass Index（身体质量指数）.
Since the study only observed people and did not give them chocolate directly to test what its effects were, experts said more research was needed to determine the candy’s exact impact on the body. Doctors also warned that eating large amounts of chocolate could lead to weight gain. “This is not a prescription（指示）to eat more chocolate,” said Robert Eckel, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado who is not linked to the study. “If we all had (a small amount of)chocolate every day for the rest of our lives, we would all gain a few pounds.” Eckel said it was amazing to find such a small amount of chocolate could have such a protective effect, but that more studies were needed to confirm its conclusions.
1．What is the main purpose of the article?
A．To suggest people eat as much dark chocolate as possible.
B．To warn people not to eat too much chocolate.
C．To tell people how to avoid a heart attack.
D．To report on a study about the benefits of chocolate.
2．Both Buijsse and Eckel believe that .
A．dark chocolate in enough amounts could be good for our health
B．eating large amounts of chocolate could lead to weight gain
C．we can cure our heart problems with dark chocolate
D．we’d better not advise people to eat more chocolate at present
3．Which of the following statements about the study is FALSE?
A．It’s the first time that the effects of dark chocolate has been examined.
B．The researchers followed nearly 20,000 people for over eight years.
C．The researchers didn’t give any diet instructions to the people followed by the study.
D．The study found that eating about six grams of chocolate a day was beneficial.
4．We can infer from the text that .
A．eating a small amount of dark chocolate will lower your blood pressure
B．scientists are now certain of the effects of dark chocolate
C．eating a little chocolate over a long period will not lead to weight gain
D．Flavonols can only be found in dark chocolate and red wine

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean? People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
1．Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A．Places where people lived.      B．People’s characters.
C．Talents that people possessed. D．People’s occupations.
2．According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
A．owned or drove a cart           B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools or contains    D．built houses and furniture
3．Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A．Beatrice Smith              B．Leonard Carter
C．George Longstreet            D．Donald Greenwood
4．The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____
A．later generations           B．friends and relatives
C．colleagues and partners      D．later sponsors

Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
University accommodation office
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have 'a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www. loot. com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. Renting.co. uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily, going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice
1．What is the advantage of using Loot?
A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.
B．It gives you personal information about other co-renters.
C．Their website is designed mainly for students.
D．There are some good bargains.
2．A good agent can help you        .
A．know more people
B．find cheap accommodation
C．get the right accommodation quickly
D．get free information about mos t accommodations
3．The information passed on by word of mouth is important because      .
A．it is better than that found through any other source
B．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised
C．the final year students always offer better information
D．the landlords have little valuable information
4．For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?
A．University accommodation offices.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices（装置）themselves. University of Missouri（MU） researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density（密度）”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope（放射性同位素） battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems （M/NEMS）. Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor（半导体）. Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure（晶体结构）of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
1．Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?
A．He teaches chemistry at MU.
B．He developed a chemical battery.
C．He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D．He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.
2．Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.
A．to show chemical batteries are widely applied.
B．to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.
C．to describe a nuclear-powered system.
D．to introduce various energy sources.
3．Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.
A．get rid of the radioactive waste
B．test the power of nuclear batteries.
C．decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D．reduce the damage to lattice structure.
4．According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.
A．uses a solid semiconductor.
B．will soon replace the present ones.
C．could be extremely thin.
D．has passed the final test.
