Many newspapers also furnish their readers with other pieces of useful information, such as weather reports, TV program broadcast, and other kinds of information. They provide commentary on politics, economics, art and culture. In nearly all cases and in different degrees, newspapers depend on commercial advertising for their income. ‎ A survey said that nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day, and seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. By the time they see a newspaper, most people have already heard about breaking news stories on TV or on the radio. Readers depend on newspapers to provide detailed information and analysis(分析)which TV and radio almost don’t offer. Newspapers not only tell readers that an event has happened but also help readers understand what led to the event and how it will affect the world. ‎ The members of a large newspaper work under the nonstop pressure of deadlines to bring news to readers as quickly as their minds, bodies and the technology they use permit. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors find the materials and form ‎ articles and graphics(图片)—sometimes in just a few hours. Page designers combine articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines into the page layout(版面), then quickly print the paper out. Printing system may work through the night to print out more than 60, 000 copies per hour. ‎ ‎21. The underlined word “furnish” in Paragraph 1 means“　　　”. ‎ A. review B. offer　　 C. found D. produce ‎22. What can we learn from the passage? ‎ A. All the income of a newspaper comes from ads. ‎ B. Canadians depend on newspapers more than Americans. ‎ C. Only by reading the newspaper can readers get the latest news. ‎ D. The staff of a newspaper must meet deadlines from time to time. ‎ ‎23. According to the passage, what affects the pace of a newspaper’s publication? ‎ A. Its human resources and technology. ‎ B. The editors. ‎ C. The printers. ‎ D. The reporters. ‎ B ‎　　First aid means the aid or the help that can be given to an injured person first, that is, before any other help arrives. Nowadays there is usually a telephone not far away and the first thing we should do, if a serious accident happens, is to telephone for an ambulance. Sometimes quick action by us may save someone’s life. ‎ ‎　　Shock. People often suffer from shock after receiving an injury, sometimes even when the injury is a small one. The face turns grey, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink. ‎ ‎　　Broken bones. Do not move the patient. Send for an ambulance at once. ‎ ‎　　Bleeding. A little bleeding doesn’t harm. It washes dirt from the wound. But if the bleeding continues, try to stop it by placing a clean cloth firmly over the wound until the ‎ bleeding stops or helps arrive. ‎ Poisoning. A person who has taken poison should be taken to a hospital at once. With some poisons, sleeping pills, for example, it is a good thing to make the patient throw up by pressing your fingers down his throat. ‎ Remember: When an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. Keep the injured person warm and quiet. Give him plenty of air. Do not let other people crowd around him. ‎ ‎24. How many common accidents are mentioned in this passage? ‎ A. Two. B. Four. C. Three. D. Five. ‎ ‎25. If someone goes into shock after receiving an injury, you’ll find that　　　. ‎ A. the face turns grey B. the skin becomes damp and cold C. the patient breathes quickly D. all of the above ‎26. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage? ‎ A. First aid means to give an injured person the help at once before the doctor comes. ‎ B. When a person has taken poison, we must always make him throw up. ‎ C. If an injured person goes into shock, we must always try to keep him warm. ‎ D. Don’t move the injured person if he has broken his legs. ‎ ‎27. What’s the best title for this passage? ‎ A. First Aid B. Save One’s Life ‎ C. Some Accidents D. Common Injures ‎ C ‎  Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice．However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner．     Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters．Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene ‎ studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers．She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris．      Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X﹣ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X﹣ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium．Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government．      In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later．     Like her mother, Irene combined family and career．Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935．Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）．Irene Joliot﹣Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956． 28.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal？________‎ A.
