The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700’s the world’s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn’t have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in ‎Germany The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702.‎ In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士顿新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.‎ Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the ‎ world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新闻). It sells more than 11 million copies every day.‎ ‎21.

First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be given as quickly as possible. In the case of seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.‎ First aid measures depend upon a victim’s needs and provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury, for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪).‎ Despite the variety of injuries possible, several basic rules of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious (有意识的), should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and ask for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for the medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene ‎ becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.‎ First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life—threatening conditions exist. One method for assessing a victims condition is known by ABC, which stands for:‎ A—Airway: is it open and clear?‎ B—Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen, and feel for breathing.‎ C—Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding extremely?‎ Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.‎ ‎25. Before we give first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to .‎ A. make sure what to do and what not to do B. refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid C. remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing D. take him/her to a hospital at once ‎26. According to this article, first aid is usually provided by .‎ A. professional doctors B. the victim’s family members C. the victim’s friends D. those who are not necessarily professional doctors ‎27. Which of the following is NOT true when you assess a victim’s condition?‎ A. Checking whether there is a pulse.‎ B. Looking, listening and feeling for breathing.‎ C. Replacing his/her medical card.‎ D. Examining whether the airway is open and clear.‎ ‎28 The purpose of the passage is to tell readers .‎ A. the importance of protecting the accident scene.‎ B. some basic knowledge about first aid.‎ C. what professional medical help is.‎ D. who can give first aid.‎ C On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to the supermarket to buy Christmas gifts. In the supermarket, I noticed a little boy, holding a doll and looking so sad. He turned to the old woman ‎ next to him, “Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” The old lady replied, “You know we don’t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.” Then she left for something else and the boy still stood there.‎ Finally, I went to the boy and asked him who he wanted to give this doll to. “It is the doll that my sister wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Father Christmas would bring it to her.”‎ I told him that maybe Father Christmas will bring it to her. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Father Christmas cannot bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to give it to my sister.”‎ Hearing this, I quickly reached into my wallet and took a few notes and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case if you have enough money?”‎ ‎“OK,” he said, “I hope that I have enough.”‎ I added some of my money to his without his seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll.‎ The little boy said, “Thank God for giving me enough money.”‎ Then he looked at me and added, “I prayed to God yesterday before I slept to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll. He heard me.”‎ ‎29. Why did the boy look so sad at the beginning of the story?‎ A. He lost his money. B. He couldn’t get the doll for his sister.‎ C. He didn’t get a Christmas gift. D. His Granny wasn’t kind to him.‎ ‎30. It can be inferred from the passage that .‎ A. the boy’s mother was dead B. the boy’s father will die C. the boy’s sister was dead D. the boy’s sister was ill ‎31. What did the writer do to help the little boy?‎ A. He gave him a Christmas gift. B. He lent him some money.‎ C. He bought the doll for him. D. He gave him some money in a secret way.‎ ‎32. In the end, the boy thanked God instead of the writer because .‎ A. he thought the writer wasn’t kind enough B. he thought it was God that had helped him C. the writer did nothing to help him D. the boy wasn’t polite enough D Snowbirds are people who leave their homes when the temperature drops and head to warmer climates. They are mostly retirees and business owners who can afford to take the winter off. While the snow flies in the Northern states, they are enjoying golf, sailing and barbecues in mild temperatures in the South. Then, after winter passes, they return to their homes in the North.‎ Most snowbirds are away from Canada and the Northern states between the middle of October and the end of November. They pack up and head to Florida, Alabama, Texas, California, and all of the other Southern states. Some may even go as far as Australia or Italy to escape the cold winter weather. There are special communities for snowbirds in many areas. Snowbirds are also offered special discounts in some restaurants, hotels and area attractions. Several states even have special snowbird resorts (度假胜地). There are several online communities and local resources to help snowbirds get set in their seasonal homes.‎ Some snowbirds own homes both in the South and in the North. Both homes have everything they will need for their stay, minimizing the amount of packing necessary when moving from one to the other. Other snowbirds will rent apartments for the duration of their stay outside of their home state.‎ Recreational (娱乐的、休闲的) vehicles, or RVs, are a huge part of the snowbird lifestyle. RVs allow snowbirds to move from place to place on a whim (奇想), bringing everything they need with them. They spend nights in RV parks, large parking lots or anywhere else they choose to stay. RVs have beds, bathrooms, and most other modern conveniences available in a regular home. Although the spaces are small, there is more than enough room for a couple to live in.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can be regarded as a snowbird?‎ A. One who retires and has a lot of free time.‎ B. One who likes to play in snow in winter.‎ C. One who travels around the world the whole year.‎ D. One who head for the South to avoid the cold weather.‎ ‎34. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .‎ A. the Internet makes it easier for snowbirds to find seasonal homes.‎ B. snowbirds are not welcome in many areas.‎ C. snowbirds have to stay in special communities.‎ D. it doesn’t cost much to be a snowbird.‎ ‎35. Recreational vehicles allow snowbirds to .‎ A. avoid the heavy traffic B. carry everything they have at home C. have a comfortable life wherever they are D. save more money than renting an apartment ‎ 第二节（共5个小题；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 Make Friends Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
