A smaller number of people are killed after they contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies.‎ What to do?‎ ‎●If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don't touch him/her!‎ ‎●If they are still holding the appliance (家用电器) that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!‎ ‎●If you can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.‎ ‎●The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.‎ ‎●It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else.If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸)．Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.‎ ‎●If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.‎ ‎21. What kind of passage is it?________‎ A．First aid emergency advice. B．A horror story. C．A news report. D．An advertisement.‎ ‎22.

They all have the same courses, such as English, math, science, and social studies. In addition to academics, every student should do service learning, which means that each students helps the school and neighborhood with projects. Some students tutor after school. Some work in soup kitchens, helping people get food. Others work to improve the environment. When students do service learning, they feel better about themselves and learn more skills.‎ Some high schools are specialized. Students choose to go there because they want a certain career or want to study a special subject. For example, you can go to a high school that specializes in arts if you are interested in arts. If you dream about flying, you can go to an air force school in Chicago. Besides the usual subjects, you also learn about flying there.‎ You can also find special programs at regular high schools. Language program is popular and many schools offer language courses, such as Chinese and Spanish. Students from a wide range of backgrounds have joined them. Even culinary (烹饪) arts are available at some schools. One student who went to Richards High School in Chicago got a $10,000 scholarship to go to culinary college. He achieved his success at ‎ Richards High School where he took culinary arts classes as well as the regular courses. He is on his way to a great career.‎ When you choose a high school, you should think about many things. Whatever high school you go to, how much it helps you is up to you. Succeeding in high school requires determination, concentration, and a commitment(承诺) to be the best that you can be.‎ ‎24.

The passage is intended for ________ .‎ ‎ A. parents        B. teachers     C. headmasters     D. students C When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say “Thank you”. This wise advice is easy to understand but hard to practice. I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practicing what I teach． ‎ In my work I travel constantly. I always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lynda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lynda cried out, “Look out! There is a red light up ahead. ”  Being a trained behavioral science professional --- who teaches others the value of encouraging advice --- I naturally screamed at her, “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lynda didn’t speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me. During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis(成本效益分析)．I asked myself, “What was the cost of just listening when Lynda called out the warning? Zero. ” I then reasoned, “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other ‎ people．  I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself. I immediately called Lynda and told her my cost-benefit story. I convinced her, “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you.”  A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident. Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lynda cried out, “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted, “Thank you!”  I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better. My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the important people in your life how you can do things better. And be ready for an answer. Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light.” When this happens, remember that there is possibly some benefit．Then just say, “Thank you.”  28. What do we know about the author?‎ A．He often runs the red traffic light． B．He is gifted in cost-benefit analysis．‎ C．He always takes his wife’s advice． D．He is expert at behavioral science．‎ ‎29. The underlined part “blew it” in Paragraph 1 probably means “__________”．‎ A．lost personal judgment B．forgot the practical method C．failed to say “Thank you” D．became annoyed with the adviser ‎30. It can be inferred from the passage that people __________．‎ A．should give their opinions patiently B．tend to be defensive when given advice C．had better study behavioral science D．intend to follow others’ suggestions ‎31. The purpose of the passage is to advise people to __________．‎ A．do a cost-benefit analysis in daily life B．discover benefits C．learn from the author’s experiences D．treasure others’ suggestions D As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free-form gestures–sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone—can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.  ‎ ‎ “All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free-form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template(模板), the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.  The researchers carried out a create-test-retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were caught on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free-form gestures as passwords.  To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with enough experience with touchscreens, try to steal a free-form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.  Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free–form passwords in the future. They believe this is the first study to explore free-form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings. ‎ ‎32. What can we learn about free-form gestures?‎ A．Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes. B．Users will have to make use of simple gestures.‎ C．They will never be copied by others. D．They are improving mobile security in a way.‎ ‎33. The experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _________ of free - form gestures.‎ A．template B．security C．accuracy D．application ‎ ‎34. According to the text, the researchers think that ________.‎ A．better ways of setting passwords should be developed B．it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye C．people had better not use smart phones to pay bills D．personal information should not be stored in a phone ‎35. The main purpose of the text is to ________.‎ A．advise people to use free-form gestures B．discuss whether smart phones are safe C．talk about the practicality of passwords D．introduce the study of a new password 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。选项中有两项是多余选项。‎ How to Write a News Article Writing a news article is different from writing other articles or informational pieces.  36   .Knowing how to write a news article can help you exercise your writing skills and convey information clearly and briefly.‎ Gather all your facts.
