This causes the body’s necessary functions to stop working.‎ It’s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person’s body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.‎ Call for help Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted(昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if ‎ you’ re in a public place. If there’s no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn’t much nearby.‎ Get the person to a cooler area If there’s a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditionings and water is perfect. If a building isn’t available, bring the person to a well shaded area.‎ Get the water flowing If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there’s a bathtub available，fill it with cool water and put the person in it.‎ If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person’s body. Focus on the face, neck，and chest.‎ Fan the person Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt or your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.‎ ‎21. When does a person get sunstroke?‎ A. When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.‎ B. When proper care is not given immediately.‎ C. When someone is exposed to the sun working too long.‎ D. When the body’s necessary functions stop working.‎ ‎22. What is mainly discussed in the passage?‎ A. The chief symptoms of sunstroke.‎ B. The cause of sunstroke.‎ C. The first aid for sunstroke.‎ D. The essential preventions of sunstroke.‎ ‎23. The passage probably comes from ________.‎ A. a guide book B. a book review C. an official document D. a medical magazine B When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs.Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d hiked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting, I’d sit and drink while she talked.‎ Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr.Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda (汽水) went up my nose.‎ I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).‎ I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser (募捐活动).She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.‎ I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “Fine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.‎ ‎24. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?‎ A. He was talking fast. B. He was shocked.‎ C. He was in a hurry. D. He was absent-minded.‎ ‎25. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?‎ A. He enjoyed the drink. B. He wanted to be helpful.‎ C. He took the chance to rest. D. He tried to please his dad.‎ ‎26. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it out of her system"?‎ A. recover from her sadness B. move out of the neighborhood C. turn to her old friends D. speak out about her past ‎27. What does the author think people in a community should do?‎ A. Open up to others. B. Depend on each other.‎ C. Pay for other’s help D. Care about one another.‎ C What if one day Facebook, Twitter and Instant Messenger just weren’t there? Provost Eric Darr of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pennsylvania tells NPR’s (National Public Radio) Guy Raz that he wanted his students to not only think about this question, but live it.‎ ‎“Often there are behaviors, habits, ways we use technology that we may ourselves not even be able to express clearly because we’re not aware of them,” Darr says.‎ So this week, Darr will enforce a campus-wide social media blackout — no Facebook, no Twitter, no instant messaging — nothing.‎ Social Media Exile Access to these popular social media tools will be blocked from campus computers through the week. This is not a disciplinary (纪律上的) exercise, Darr says, but an academic one. At the end of the week, students will write reflective essays about their time without social media.‎ Three Harrisburg University students, Ashley Harris, Gio Acosta and Oluyemi Afuape, volunteered to discuss the experiment, and it turns out they have mixed feelings.‎ Afuape isn’t a big fan of Facebook, and says he doesn’t expect to be challenged by the ‎ blackout. But Harris is going to have a hard time not posting her whereabouts to friends.‎ ‎“My biggest problem is not being able to find people,’’ Harris says, “because I use Facebook and Twitter to find people at school, to see where they’re at.”‎ Even before hearing about the blackout, Acosta found it necessary to cut himself off the constant social media chatter.‎ ‎“I had my phone set to receive Facebook, texts, tweets — and ring — so I had to turn that off between 3 and 6 in the morning so I can actually sleep during that time” Acosta says. “If you don’t set the limits, it’s a 24-hour thing.”‎ Hope From The ‘Post-Facebook’ Generation Outspoken social media critic Jaron Lanier (who was also named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of the year) says Harrisburg University’s experiment may be too extreme. He would prefer that students donate a penny to charity every time they access social media.‎ ‎“Because that would create awareness, they would be aware of how much they were doing,” Lanier says, “making the use of it into something that’s more conscious and more considered.”‎ Lanier is mainly worried that social media creates superficial ties rather than lasting friendship. But he says he’s optimistic about the “post-Facebook generation” — teenagers he hears from in high schools who don’t identify with Facebook.‎ Lanier hopes this generation will spark something of a renaissance (新生), declaring, “No, we are individuals; we invent ourselves; we’re not going to have some third-party advertising business define us. We invent our own taste, and furthermore, we decide what friendship means.”‎ ‎28. What do the underlined words “live it” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?‎ A. Making a living without the Internet.‎ B. Leading a life without social media.‎ C. Experiencing the popularity of social media.‎ D. Being aware of the importance of technology.‎ ‎29. What do we know about the cutoff experiment?‎ A. The experiment lasted a week and was very successful.‎ B. Only three students participated in the experiment.‎ C. The participants had terrible feelings toward the cutoff.‎ D. The experiment had something to do with students’ schoolwork.‎ ‎30. What is Lanier’s opinion about the experiment?‎ A. The university should do the experiment in a more moderate way.‎ B. The experiment should include the “post-Facebook generation”.‎ C. Students should donate some money to the experiment.‎ D. The experiment can make the students more conscious and considered.‎ ‎31. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. The disadvantages of social media.‎ B. Some people’s views on social media.‎ C. A university’s experiment on social media.‎ D. Challenges to the “post-Facebook generation”.‎ D Is It Worth Buying Organic Food?‎ Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.‎ The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. "We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more ‎ nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. "So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."‎ For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.‎ While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.‎ Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.‎ ‎32. The new research questions whether organic food __________.‎ A. should replace traditional food B. has been overpriced by farmers C. is grown with less harmful chemicals D. is really more nutritious and healthier ‎33. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.‎ A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food ‎34. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?‎ A. Organic chicken and pork. B. Organic milk and chicken.‎ C. Traditional chicken and pork. D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s attitude toward organic food?‎ A. Skeptical. B. Neutral.‎ C. Unconcerned. D. Approving.‎ 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。 [来源:Z&xx&k.Com]‎ Long, long ago people couldn't write and they had no books. But they had stories.
