If there is no response at all, you need to establish if they are dead or just unconscious—sometimes it's very difficult to tell the difference.‎ ‎ Open the airway by placing one hand on their forehead and gently tilting the head back while lifting the chin.‎ ‎ If there are no signs of life—no obvious pulse and their chest is not going up and down—call an ambulance and then start cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)（心脏复苏） to maintain（获得）a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.‎ ‎ Do this by pushing up and down on the centre of the chest, with your hands interlocked together, constantly until an ambulance arrives.‎ ‎ Push at a rate of 100 beats a minute. You can't harm them doing this and might just save a life.‎ ‎25. People don't do first aid often because .‎ A. they are not doctors. ‎ B. it isn't their responsibility.‎ C. they think it is dangerous. ‎ D. they are cold-hearted.‎ ‎26. If the person's chest is not going up and down, it shows .‎ A. the person is dead. ‎ B. you should start CPR. ‎ C. first aid is not needed. ‎ D. an ambulance isn't necessary.‎ ‎27. Which of the following pictures is TRUE about CPR according to the passage?‎ C ‎“You know, the soft subjects,” says the boy in maths. “The easy ones:  the stupid girls at the bottom take them. Like dance. It shouldn’t even be a subject.” We’re choosing subjects for our A-level taster day at school. I see the raised eyebrows (眉毛) when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama (戏剧).‎ I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldn’t help me to get a suitable career. My friends told me I’d get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month.‎ But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made. Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into. It gives me a feeling of belonging, creativity, security and freedom.‎ The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on (强调) science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldn’t matter what that subject is.‎ I don’t doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, I’m not good at and don’t love physics, biology or maths. I don’t want a career in these areas.‎ There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I can’t even imagine how it feels to be told that you don’t teach a “real subject” by an 8-year-old boy.‎ To the teachers, the parents, the government I say:  Let children make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.‎ ‎28. How does the boy in maths feel about dance?‎ A. Important. B. Difficult. C. Beautiful. D. Useless.‎ ‎29. After the author took GCSE dance, she _____.‎ A. lost interest in it. ‎ B. turned to other subjects. ‎ C. kept her mind on it. ‎ D. struggled with her lessons.‎ ‎30. What do we know about Nicky Morgan?‎ A. She encourages students to learn soft subjects.‎ B. She underlines the importance of STEM subjects.‎ C. She suggests students take a risk in their careers.‎ D. She allows students to express themselves freely.‎ ‎31. What’s the present situation of arts subjects?‎ A. They attract much attention worldwide.‎ B. They are considered less important.‎ C. They are taught by non-professionals.‎ D. They have made great progress.‎ D I once saw a TV programme at college about a scientist who used “drift bottles (漂流瓶)” to mark ocean currents. It was a rather boring programme. I was more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on a beach with a message inside. Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into the sea — but 21 years before. I decided to find out more about such bottles, and I started work on this intriguing (非常有趣的) research.‎ An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbus during a terrible storm. He wrote about his discovery of America and expected that his message would be sent to the Queen of Spain. He wanted the news to reach her, but he thought he might be drowned in the storm. In fact, he survived but the bottle was never found.‎ I would be excited to find a message in a bottle, but in the 16th century, it could be dangerous. In those days, the British Navy (海军) used messages in bottles to send information about the enemy. When Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ found out that a boatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she created a new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death. It seems very strange to us now.‎ A long time ago, before dating websites existed to help people find partners, a sailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle — “To someone beautiful and far away.” It was found by a young woman in Sicily. She answered the message — “I am not beautiful, but it seems a miracle (奇迹) I found your message.” They began to write letters to each other, and eventually got married.‎ Nowadays it’ s easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them. And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message inside!‎ ‎32. Why did the author do some research on bottles thrown into the sea?‎ A. He had found a message in one.‎ B. He had to do a project on them at college.‎ C. He had read an article about one.‎ D. He had watched a TV programme about them.‎ ‎33. Christopher Columbus put a message into a bottle to ________.‎ A. study ocean currents B. ask for rescue ‎ C. report his discovery D. try his luck ‎34. How did the author feel about the 16th century punishment for opening ocean bottles?‎ A. Frightening.‎ B. Astonishing.‎ C. Amusing.‎ D. Satisfying.‎ ‎35. Why did the young woman in Sicily reply to the Swedish sailor’ s message? ‎ A. She was impressed by the bottle’ s journey.‎ B. She felt she fitted his description.‎ C. She failed to access a dating website.‎ D .She wanted to have a pen friend.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to keep yourself safe from new virus?‎ After a new-type coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central China's Wuhan city a month ago, more cases have been reported in recent days. 36 :‎ ‎1.

I can’t believe you’ve been offered two summer jobs at the same time! You said that one of them was in a restaurant and the other in a museum. If I were you, I would take the one in the restaurant.‎ Imagine how boring it would be to spend a whole day in a museum! In a restaurant, you’ll only need to work during lunch time and dinner time, so you’ll have more time for yourself. It might be hard work, but it will be worth it.‎ Besides, you can probably eat at the restaurant. You said the pay was the same, so you might save money by eating there.‎ Good luck!‎ ‎                                                                 Yours,‎ Li Hua Dear Sam,‎ Thanks for your letter. I can’t believe you’ve been offered two summer jobs at the same time! You said that one of them was in a restaurant and the other in a museum. If I were you, I would take the one in the museum.‎ First, you can gain more knowledge about history, which will enrich your life greatly. Second, you can make more friends from different parts of the country by serving them when working there. Finally, compared to the job in the restaurant, working in the museum can be more challenging. If you find a position there I’m sure you will see a rapid improvement in both your character and abilities. You will also have a great time.‎ Good luck!‎ ‎                                                                Yours,‎ ‎  Li Hua ‎(Text 1)‎ W: Sam, look at the blackboard. I am drawing something.

So I stopped in at a barbershop and got my hair cut.‎ ‎(Text 3)‎ M: I’m surprised that you drove all the way to Liverpool.‎ W: Actually I took the train.
