If you're aged between 16 and 25 years old, and are not in employment, education or training, RISE could help you learn new skills, and improve your prospects (前景).‎ What you'll learn St John Ambulance believes that everyone should have access to first aid, and we are devoted to equipping as many people as possible with the skills to be the difference between life and death. As a participant you'll learn first aid through our Stick-it sessions, and also get the opportunity to develop new skills, giving you the confidence to train others in your community, or the qualifications in youth leadership you need to get your career up and running.‎ Choosing the right path for you At the heart of the RISE project is a commitment (承诺) to peer to peer learning. As well as being taught first aid, you'll be given the skills and guidance to pass your knowledge onto other people in your community. RISE offers you the chance to gain a range of qualifications and to choose a path that helps you make the most of your talents.‎ Stick-it: Our one-day introduction to first aid, focusing on gun and knife related injuries. You'll find out how to manage an incident and learn some of the most commonly needed first aid skills.‎ First aid: You'll focus on CPR (心肺复苏术), bleeds and dealing with an emergency situation on this six-hour course.‎ Keeping children safe: A course designed for those who come into contact with children through their work or leisure activities. This short programme works by helping individuals to understand the unusual role they play in keeping children safe from harm.‎ Basic skills in youth work: This course provides an introduction to St John Ambulance and is the minimum (最低的) qualification for a youth leadership role within the organization.‎ 1.

They discuss the main events of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events．‎ The moment the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them．Sometimes they do telephone interviews．Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they need. This is called "doing one's homework"．‎ At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day's paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and submit them to the editor．‎ The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Word editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes．‎ Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing the newspaper has come．This is done on fast-moving printing machines．The newspapers are then delivered by truck，plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper: nobody wants to buy yesterday's． 24．What is the work in a newspaper office like？ ‎ A．Interesting and confusing B．Important and patient．‎ C．Fast and busy． D．Particular and necessary． 25．The front page contents are decided by .‎ A．how well the stories are written B．the importance of the events C．the knowledge of the chief editor D．whether they are the latest ‎26．According to the passage，the last step of a reporter's work is . A．writing stories B. doing interviews C．Submitting stories to the editor D. doing homework 27．The best title for this passage is “ ”‎ A．How a newspaper is born B．How ‎ newspapers are delivered C．What kind of papers readers like D．Whose work is more important C The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert( 警 觉 ).Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focus—until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?‎ Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly( 无目的地) on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地)when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.‎ 28. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ．‎ A．sense of sight. B．sense of hearing.‎ C．sense of touch. D．sense of smell.‎ 29. Babies are sensitive to the change in ．‎ A．the size of cards. B．the number of objects.‎ C．the shape of patterns. D．the colour of pictures.‎ 30. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats? A．To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.‎ B. To see how babies recognize sounds.‎ C. To carry their experiment further.‎ D. To keep the babies' interest.‎ 31. Where does this text probably come from? ‎ A．Science fiction. B．Children's literature.‎ C．A science report. D．An advertisement.‎ D The UK is a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions. While appearing similar on the surface, each of the four countries are so diverse both in the languages spoken and the food eaten. I come from a small town in Wales and as such have ‎ a strong sense of pride for my country. One of the stranger and more interesting traditions is the "Mari Lwyd" in Welsh, or the "Grey Mare" in English. The Mari Lwyd is a midwinter tradition and can take place any time in December through to January. The Mari Lwyd is a horse's skull. It's decorated in white and attached to a long pole. Sometimes the skull is painted and decorated with coloured ribbons and bells. The Mari Lwyd goes around the town and tries to bite innocent villagers. If you are bitten you have to pay a fine but today it’s just for fun! I love the evening; everyone comes out and follows the horse's skull as it makes its way through the town singing at each door, usually stopping at various pubs and trying to gain entry, food and drink.‎ There's traditional music and dancing. Sometimes there are Morris dancers who paint their faces black and wear colourful ribbons to disguise themselves. Many of the children are dressed in national dress. It really brings everyone together and you feel such a great sense of community! Although one of the oldest traditions in Wales, it nearly died out! Luckily today, there has been a rise in popularity with many Welsh towns breathing life again to these old-age customs. It's believed that it will be a hit again.‎ 32.

The Mari Lwyd will disappear in the future.‎ B. The Mari Lwyd is the oldest tradition in Wales.‎ C. Many towns contribute to making the tradition popular.‎ D. All the people wear national dresses for the tradition.‎ 35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? ‎ A. To call for people to focus on traditions.‎ B. To tell the differences among traditions.‎ C. To introduce an interesting tradition.‎ D. To tell us he is proud of his county.‎ 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。‎ The days when a cellphone was used for nothing beyond calling and texting are gone. Today，we turn smart phones into magical machines with apps that transform them into musical instruments or business machines or video players．But it turns out that we are only searching the surface. Who knew that smart phones would make pretty good satellites? 36‎ Smart phones forecast the weather Networking Expert Open Signal has discovered something interesting ： the sensors in Android phones designed to measure battery temperature, light, pressure and so on can be used to generate surprisingly accurate weather reports. 37 ‎ Smart phones save the rainforests Detecting illegal logging( 盗 伐 )may sound like a novel app, 38 : in Indonesia, the non-profit organization Rainforest Connection wants to use donated Android phones to detect illegal logging.
