National medical and technical organizations give a license to the content of these courses, ensuring the latest techniques are taught and the course content are revised regularly to meet both international and Australian standards. The main courses offered by St. John Ambulance Australia are:‎ Emergency First Aid This St. John Ambulance first aid course will provide you with the skills to manage emergency first aid situations, including managing the unconscious patient, performing CPR (心肺复苏术), controlling bleeding and managing other life threatening situations. It is suitable to both people in workplaces and members of the public who want to be able to manage an emergency first aid situation.‎ Apply First Aid The most popular St. John Ambulance first aid course covers a broad range of topics to enable participants to confidently manage emergency situations, providing care for the ill or injured until medical aid arrives.

Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and became a legend in the industry.‎ She was always at White House news conferences---sitting front and center---where she frequently annoyed government spokesmen with her pointed questions.‎ Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture there until her retirement in 2010.‎ In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a "true pioneer" and said she kept the presidents she covered---including himself---on their toes.‎ Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was born in Winchester, Kentucky, on August 4, 1920. She was one of nine children. Thomas was raised in Detroit, where she attended Wayne State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1942.‎ In describing her job, Thomas once said, "I've never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible."‎ Thomas embraced the freedoms of a columnist with vigor (活力). No question seemed off-limits for her. Colleagues remember her as a genuinely fearless woman who asked the toughest questions of presidents, no matter their party.‎ In January 2009, as President George Bush was preparing to leave office, Thomas aimed her editorial guns at him and his administration. In a commentary, she slammed (抨击) Bush for what she considered his failings, including leading the country "into a senseless war against Iraq, a calamity still under way as he leaves office almost six years after the invasion." She considered him "the worst president ever."‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word "fixture" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. It means an object firmly fixed in place B.

He recalled how he became depressed and at the beginning didn’t see a point in finishing his doctorate. But he continued to dig into his studies. “If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,” he said.‎ Well-known for his work on black holes and the origins of the cosmos, Hawking is famous for bringing esoteric (只有内行才懂的) physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books, including A Brief History of Time, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. ‎ Hawking has survived longer than most people with Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control the muscles. People gradually have more and more trouble breathing and moving as muscles weaken and waste away. There’s no cure and no way to reverse the disease’s progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.‎ Hawking receives care at all times, can only communicate by twitching (抽动) his cheek, and relies on a computer fixed to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a special robotic monotone.‎ Despite his diagnosis, Hawking has remained active. In 2007, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that creates weightlessness by making parabolic (抛物线的) dives.‎ ‎“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Be curious. However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed in” he said.‎ Dr. Robert Baloh, director of Cedars-Sinai’s ALS program who invited Hawking, said he had no explanation for the physicist’s longevity. Baloh said he has treated patients who lived for 10 years or more. “But 50 years is unusual, to say the least.” he said.‎ In 2009, President Barack Obama awarded Hawking the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work.‎ ‎28. What is the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. Hawking’s disease. B. Hawking’s life.‎ C. Hawking’s research. D. Hawking’s achievements.‎ ‎29. Which shows the right order of what happened to Hawking? ‎ a. Hawking made remarks about human’s survival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.‎ b. Hawking was diagnosed with a terrible disease.‎ c. Hawking floated like an astronaut on an aircraft.‎ d. Hawking was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.‎ A. bcda B. bacd C. abcd. D. acdb ‎30. What does Dr. Robert Baloh mean by saying “But 50 years is unusual, to say the least”?‎ A. 50 years is a long time.‎ B. Hawking has lived too long.‎ C. He didn’t expect Hawking’s long life.‎ D. He can’t explain why Hawking has lived so long.‎ ‎31. What kind of person is Hawking according to the author? ‎ A. Determined and optimistic. B. Weak and unfortunate.‎ C. Brave but unconfident. D. Talented but pessimistic.‎ D For such a small country, England publishes a remarkable number of daily and weekly newspapers. These papers range from tabloids (小报), which offer a sensationalized perspective on current events and often focus on the royal family and other celebrities, to much more serious and reliable newspapers, which are often referred to as “heavies”. The latter usually cover British news as well as international news and provide detailed coverage of sporting and cultural events, financial reports and book reviews.‎ Tabloids are also called “populars” or “gutter press” because of their focus on the sensational. These papers rely more heavily on photos than text to tell their stories. Headlines can take up a lot of space on the page as well. Tabloids are also smaller in size than other papers, printed in a half-sheet format.‎ The British have a common joke about the classification of their own newspaper: people who lead the country read The Times. People who think they are good leaders read The Mirror. People who would like to lead the country read The Guardian. The wives of people who run the country ‎ read The Mail. People who could care less who runs the country, but want to see pictures of beautiful people, read The Sun. The people who think the country ought to be run as it was before read The Daily Telegraph.‎ The Times is widely considered to be one of the leading sources of serious, nationwide news. This influential newspaper, founded in 1785, is read by only a small number of people (100,000 copies are circulated a day), but those who do read it usually have high-ranking jobs in the government or business world, including politicians and lawyers. The paper tends to be conservative and support the government, which is another reason why many government officials and lawyers form its primary readership.‎ And even more conservative “heavy” is The Daily Telegraph, which was first published in 1855. Its circulation is twice as large as The Times, with 200,000 copies published daily. The paper is nicknamed “The Torygraph” because of its loyalty to the conservative “Tory” party. It is worth mentioning, however, that British newspapers are independent of parties and do not represent the voice of the government, even though they often reflect or support the government or a political party.‎ The Guardian (originally founded in 1821) is a more liberal newspaper with a slightly larger circulation than The Times. This paper is recognized for its engaging articles and its focus on education, medical reform, the environment, the welfare of the elderly and other causes. Because the paper leans towards the ideas expressed by the Liberal Party of Britain, the reporting also tends to be more liberal in content.‎ One of the country’s youngest leading newspapers is The Independent, which was founded in 1986. It has developed a good reputation based on the quality of its news coverage and the depth of its informal, often humorous commentaries.‎ Among the “populars”, The Sun is the most widely read, with a circulation of four million. It outsells all of the other tabloids, including the highly popular Daily Mirror, circulation three million, which traditionally expresses the views of the Labour Party. Headlines in the “populars” range from news of murders to lotteries. Because of the stiff competition between the popular newspapers, editors tend to sensationalize (以耸人听闻的手法处理) news and events or run vivid photos to attract more readers.‎ ‎32. How many newspapers are mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Five. B. Six.‎ C. Seven. D. Eight.‎ ‎33. What joke do the British have about the classification of their newspaper?‎ A. People think they are good leaders.‎ B. People care less who runs the country.‎ C. People can be defined by the newspaper they read.‎ D. People think the country ought to be run as it was before.‎ ‎34. What is the relationship between British newspapers and political parties?‎ A. British newspapers represent the voice of the government.‎ B. British newspapers seldom support political parties.‎ C. British newspapers are independent of parties.‎ D. British newspapers rely too much on parties.‎ ‎35. Which of the following newspaper has the highest circulation?‎ A. The Daily Telegraph B. The Sun C. The Independent D. The Times 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。‎ The environmental crisis is no longer a topic only for scientists. The power to protect our earth is in our own hands. 36 Below are five ways to make your school a more earth-friendly campus.‎ Reduce unnecessary waste.‎ Be on the lookout for waste around the campus such as running or dipping water and lights being let on when no one is around. Both students and teachers can use refillable (可再填充的) pens and pencils.‎ ‎ 37 The back or bottom of paper that has blank space can be reused as note paper. These simple measures of cutting down waste will not only save energy, but help clean up the ‎ campus.‎ Use reusable bottles.‎ ‎ 38 Instead, use a thermos (热水瓶) or stainless steel bottle to reduce waste and protect against the chemicals released from plastics.‎ Waste-free lunches. If you study at a boarding school, bring a lunch to school and use reusable food containers with the goal of not having to throw away anything in the dustbins after lunch.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ Using rechargeable batteries reduces the amount of batteries that end up in dustbins.
